I create to find meaning for myself and to connect with others through these expressions. Since a young age, have attempted to navigate the world by exploring my ideas and emotions, translating them onto paper. I've always been drawing towards the tactile experience and immediacy of drawing, using a tool to make a mark, have always fascinated me. I love the profound impact that a simple mark can have. My intention is to use art making tools not only to leave a visible mark on a surface but also to evoke a lasting impression upon the viewer below the surface. It's all about connecting, the art-making process is a journey between two people, an intimate exchange of emotions and thoughts. Art serves as a bridge that connects me to others.
