Artist Statement 


My work deals with themes of isolation and alienation. The comfort and peace that comes with isolation, along with its quiet eeriness and vulnerability. Alienation is similar to isolation in the sense of being alone, the difference is that it isn't voluntary, but by the choice of others. 

Out of all the animal species, we have the most complex concept with our identity. We want to be our own individual person, but still be able to belong. To be unique, but not to the point of being alienated from the crowd. 

In the end, it is the human condition, to want, loathe, need and be frightened of loneliness.

  1. I find her work to be refreshingly original in this world of “been there done that”. She draws her inspiration and ideas from a different perspective and finds unique ways to express them. She creates from the inside out letting her passion guide her hand; her work has a natural flow to it. Her style can be describe has fearless impressionism!
