Artist Statement
Art is joy, and every day in my studio feels like an adventure. Using fibers, paint, and found materials through an intuitive process I call “vibrational cooking,” my pieces evolve as I work. I see beauty in discarded objects—a crushed can, a torn fabric scrap, even an empty paper roll—each sparking new ideas. My goal is to create meaning and beauty while rethinking waste, proving that fine art can flourish sustainably.
