About
Biography
My artistic practice began to unfold when a life-altering incident left my sister in a new, paralyzed reality, marking me with a profound awareness of Life's ephemeral essence. This awakening became a catalyst, urging me to live fully in the present, and to seek beauty at every turn.
I work in diverse mediums—paint, paper, fabric, and thread—often incorporating elements symbolic of nature, time, life, and death. This includes the integration of discarded materials as acts of mending and revival, and a statement against fleeting existence. These materials become bridges to the past, creating dialogue with ancient times as an antidote to life's impermanence. I also explore the transient nature of motherhood and my place within it’s embrace of connection and continuity.
In the tradition of memento mori, my work attempts to speak to Life's intricate tapestry, the dance between beauty and death, between preciousness and impermanence, and an ongoing reminder of our path within these truths.
One of my biggest passions in life is to learn and teach. I have taken over 70 workshops and travelled to several countries around the world to participate. I have been teaching art since 2010 both kids and adults.

Artist Statement
One can think that they have seen the same landscape over and over. However, a single cloud in the sky can affect the refraction of light and give birth to a new realm of colors. The same happens with life, a single event can significantly impact so many other facets leading to an almost kaleidoscopic range of various points of view. The way we choose to perceive things can make a situation feel better or worse.
By appreciating art and nature we are given an opportunity to see, to choose beauty in everything that surrounds us.
Being in nature brings me peace and tranquility. The imagery of plants, colors, lines, and textures serve as an endless source of inspiration.
