Growing up, like many young women, I was a perfectionist. It served me well for a decade as I was designing and sewing handbags. While still a bag maker, I’ve learned that the process requires precision over expression. When I transitioned into painting, my soul was searching for a new form of expression. Painting became a rebellion against the constant pursuit of perfection—a way to embrace freedom and spontaneity. Now, I aim to capture that sense of liberation in every piece I create.
In my work, I explore the balance, movement, and flow within each piece. As an intuitive painter, I often begin without a clear plan, letting the process reveal itself as I go. My decisions are guided by instinct, trusting my intuition to lead the way.
Using acrylic paint on canvas, I build up layers to create depth and texture, allowing each layer to inform the next. I embrace the fast-drying properties of acrylics, which allow me to work quickly and intuitively. Gestural brushstrokes are central to my practice. They bring a sense of life and spontaneity to the canvas, while the solid areas of color act as anchors, grounding the composition.
