Artist Statement

My work is an exploration of layered realities – where the internal and external worlds begin to merge.

I am drawn to the space between consciousness and the subconscious: dreams, memory, instinct, and the symbolic language that exists beneath rational thought. Through my practice, I investigate themes of psychology, spirituality, folklore, animal archetypes, and sexuality as expressions of human experience.

Working across mixed media, my primary focus is digital and new media. Each digital piece is constructed from fragments of my own making – photographs of paintings, drawings, textures, and environments, combined with digital mark-making. Through layering, distortion, and reconstruction, I create images that feel both familiar and otherworldly.

This process mirrors the way we experience ourselves: not as singular, fixed identities, but as layered, evolving constructs shaped by memory, emotion, and perception.

Animals appear frequently in my work as symbolic carriers – instinctual, mythological, and deeply connected to both survival and transformation. Similarly, the body and themes of sexuality emerge as sites of vulnerability, power, and expression.

I am interested in tension – between control and surrender, structure and intuition, the seen and the hidden.

Each work becomes a space of negotiation, where meaning is not fixed but felt.

More recently, I have begun working with clay as a way to engage more directly with material and form. Ceramics offers a slower, more tactile counterpoint to my digital process – allowing for a different kind of mark-making and presence.
