Artist Statement:

Through my abstract art, I harness vibrant colors and bold, intersecting lines to uplift individuals and evoke life-affirming emotions.

Through painting with ink, acrylic and collage, my goal is to create a immersive sensory experience while exploring themes of community care, magic realism and identity.
