I make art to quiet the chaos and steady the emotional rollercoaster of life.

I create symbolic, tribal inspired abstract line art. I fell in love with it for its form and its mysterious, dreamlike presence. There’s no pre planned concept, no reference, no intention to replicate anything recognizable. Each piece is born entirely in the moment guided by instinct rather than thought, where line and dots become a language of their own.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes spontaneously, often settling in during the evening. Whether I’m feeling light or melancholic, my emotional state quietly guides the outcome of each piece.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to pay off some of my debts and to pay a few months of rent, allowing me to focus my time and energy on creating without financial pressure.
