Art is a vessel of optimism and joy. My creative journey has been deeply influenced by living outside America, absorbing the vibrant cultures and artistic traditions of disparate places. These experiences have enriched my visual vocabulary and have reinforced my belief that art should be a beacon of positivity.

 My works are imbued with the colors, textures and feelings of the places I’ve visited, each piece carrying the essence of distant landscapes and the spirit of the people I’ve encountered. My encaustic art and printmaking practices further allow me to explore and express these global inspirations, blending techniques and styles to create works that resonate with a universal joy.

 I strive to create pieces that invite viewers to share in this optimism, to feel the happiness that I find in the act of creation and in the beauty of our world. Through my art, I aim to foster a connection that transcends boundaries, offering a glimpse into a world where joy and optimism prevail.
