My work is about the connections we make;
to the world, the people around us and, most importantly, to ourselves.

I grew up in a family of artists; painters, photographers, writers and crafters. Some of them made careers out of their art and others lived creatively through everything they did. I am inspired by memories, family stories and histories, our sensitivity to what’s around us and how we process our life circumstances. My work is expressive, sometimes abstract, sometimes literal, and often humorous. I hope that it inspires you, makes you laugh, expresses that which you also feel, and gives you the boost to keep going.
