Studio Practise
"My artwork is a way of expressing the complex human experience. Through my pieces, I seek to create a dialogue between the viewer and the work, allowing them to draw their own meaning from the imagery and materials I use. My process involves taking a moment from reality, whether it be an experience, a memory, or a feeling, and transforming it into a tangible work of art. To achieve this, I begin by gathering images, listening to music, re-reading journal entries, and meditating. I then manipulate my inspiration on my tablet, solidifying the work before having it printed on acrylic glass and cut into its respective shapes.
I choose acrylic glass because of its transparency and durability, allowing me to create works that are both visually captivating and long-lasting.
Each one of my pieces is one-of-a-kind."
