Artist Statement

My artistic practice delves into the intricate tapestry of our interconnectedness with the natural world. Drawing inspiration from indigenous wisdom, ancestral knowledge, and the profound magic that permeates our environment, I explore themes of environmental consciousness, sustainability, and the delicate balance between human existence and the ecological systems that sustain us.

Through a diverse range of media, including , spray paints, acrylics and recycled materials, I aim to create work that not only reflects the beauty and fragility of our planet but also serves as a catalyst for reflection and action. My art seeks to awaken a sense of reverence for the natural world and inspire a deeper understanding of our role as stewards of the Earth. And deep love for our fellow human beings.

By weaving together traditional techniques with contemporary sensibilities, I strive to bridge the gap between past and present, honoring the wisdom of our ancestors while addressing the urgent environmental challenges of our time. My goal is to create work that resonates with audiences on an emotional and intellectual level, prompting them to consider their own connection to the natural world and the impact of their choices on the planet.
