As an artist, I have always been drawn to the transformative power of art. From a young age, I found solace in drawing and painting, using art as a way to express my emotions and cope with the challenges of life.

As I grew older, I realized that my art had the potential to do more than just provide personal catharsis – it could also serve as a vehicle for healing and transformation for others.
Over the years, I have experienced my fair share of trauma and adversity. From childhood abuse to adult relationships that left me feeling broken and lost, I have endured moments of deep pain and darkness. But through it all, I have also discovered the incredible resilience of the human spirit, and the infinite potential for growth and transformation.

My art is a reflection of this journey, a visual narrative that captures the different stages of healing from trauma. I use surrealistic elements and symbolism to create a rich and complex visual language, inviting viewers to explore their own experiences with trauma and healing. Each piece captures a moment of vulnerability, strength, and beauty, symbolizing the different stages of transformation and growth.

At the heart of my art is the idea of divine femininity and the healing power of nature. I believe that these two elements are essential to the process of healing and transformation, providing a sense of strength, beauty, and interconnectedness that can help us navigate even the darkest moments of life.
Through my art, I hope to convey this sense of empowerment and connection, reminding viewers that they are not alone in their struggles and that there is always a path forward.
