My favorite type of art to create is the intuitive discovery and expression with freedom of form and unbridled exploration. Through painting and songwriting I engage in a constant uncovering of shifting layers within myself. It is a way to process and transcend time and space, where every piece is a responsive unfurling rather than a fixed plan. By following sensation and subconscious movement, I translate internal rhythms into color and sound, inviting others into a raw untethered experience

My inspiration is a somatic primal force that moves through me before the brush even touches the canvas. It is the spiritual drive or restless energy of my soul seeking to be witnessed, felt, and shared. I am drawn by the urge to translate the invisible into the visible. It’s an act to turn a deep knowing into color and song. It is a sacred necessity to move what is inside of me outward, using art as the bridge between the human and divine.

I would live and work in Paris for at least six months. Having lived there before and busked with my violin, I have a deep connection to the city’s rhythm. This would allow me to stay immersed in my painting, songwriting, and illustrating a children’s book I have written of my bichons Bidou and Papaya, who passed last year. It would allow me to love simply and focus on intuitive creative work.
