I create immersive art - you don’t just see you step into. My work blends sculpture light, sound, and textured 2D/3D to create enviro’s that are felt not just observed but it holds emotion, memory and presence. Each piece begins as part of my own healing, transforming what I have lived through into form. As others enter, the work becomes shared, allowing them to bring their own story into it. I create spaces where people can pause, feel transparency and reconnect to something within themselves.

I’m inspired by what we carry that isn’t visible emotion resilience, change, and the quiet moments we don’t always have words for. My own healing journey fuels my work, turning experience into expression and growth into something tangible. I’m inspired by how environments can shift how we feel how light sound and space can hold or move emotion. I’m also inspired by connection, by the idea that Art can meet people where they are an opportunity for all of us to feel seen and heard without words.

I would use the 25K to rebuild stability and lay a foundation to keep going after unexpected life changes. From there, I would activate Retracing Light a Creative Wellness Art therapy program rooted in lived experience, led by facilitators, including myself, helping people heal PTSD/ Grief through creative expression. I’m designing a sanctuary where people can feel, process, return to self ,using all senses as portals into healing - A lifelong vision that defines my purpose as an artist.
