I create art to explore the space between worlds, where the seen meets the unseen, and spirit takes form.

I’m most drawn to creating art rooted in lived experience (my dreams, visions, and inner work). Much of what I create reflects moments of transformation, insight, and emotional depth. It’s a way of translating what I feel and perceive internally into something visible and tangible.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw deep inspiration from nature; it brings me into presence and reminds me of the intelligence and beauty of life. I’m also inspired by stillness, emotion, and the subtle inner landscapes we move through. My art becomes a way of weaving these elements together into a single moment of expression.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in building a Refuge, a space for healing in nature, a safe space for people to express, do yoga, meditation, create, work the land. A healing space to come and just be. It is meant to be a space to nurture and nourish your soul.
