I am a mixed media artist and photographer, I find inspiration in the world around me—its textures, colors, and ever-changing light. My work blends various materials and techniques, creating pieces that tell a story beyond the canvas.

Whether layering paint and collage or capturing a fleeting moment through my lens, I strive to evoke emotion and curiosity. Art, for me, is a continuous exploration, a way to see the extraordinary in the everyday.

Through my mixed media creations and photography, I invite you to experience the world from a new perspective.
