Artist Statement
Nature is my muse—a boundless source of color, texture, and intricate design. The infinite variations found in the natural world fuel my imagination, from the hues in a blooming flower to the mesmerizing patterns on a butterfly’s wings. Through jewelry-making, watercolor painting, and the transformation of cigar boxes into decorative art, I attempt channel this organic beauty into tangible, wearable, and visual creations.
Beyond nature, I am deeply inspired by fellow artists who interpret the world in profoundly different ways. Their courage to express their internal vision resonates with me, reminding me that art is limitless. It is a language that speaks without words—a dialogue between creator and observer that transcends boundaries. My work is a reflection of this dialogue, blending natural influences with artistic admiration, resulting in pieces that i hope evoke wonder, curiosity, and connection.
