I paint the unseen. Emotion turns to color, thought to form. My work is meant to be felt, not explained.

Acrylic is my primary medium, and it's the one I feel most connected to. What draws me to it the balance between control and spontaneity. It allows me to move quickly when I'm working intuitively, but also gives me depth through layering, texture and contrast.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in emotion-especially the kind that sits just beneath the surface. The moments that aren't always spoken out loud but are felt deeply. Tension, vulnerability, control, and release are all things that naturally show up in my work. I'm drawn to that space where something feels both beautiful and unsettling at the same time.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it directly into building and expanding my art and brand in a way that allows me to share my work with a much larger audience. For me , creating art has never been about the finished piece-it's about connection, expression and giving form to an emotions that are often difficult to put into words. This opportunity would allow me to take what I'm already doing and amplify it with intention.
