“I create art inspired by nature and releasing control.”

My artwork explores the duality of control through the intentional fusion of abstract and realistic elements. By juxtaposing fluid, watercolor-like acrylic washes (created by mixing paint with water on raw canvas) with precise landscape details, I mirror life's balance between surrendering to circumstance and shaping our responses. Each piece celebrates finding beauty in both intentional choices and unexpected outcomes.

As an Alexandria-based artist and mother of two toddlers, I've spent a lifetime refining this philosophy. My studio practice thrives in quiet moments, often painting exclusively while my children sleep. This rhythm informs my work - embracing chaos while maintaining focus, much like parenting itself.
