My work engages shared states of vulnerability and resilience, offering a sense of connection: You are Not Alone, I Feel it too.

My practice explores the psychological and emotional states of contemporary womanhood, focusing on tensions between social roles, rules, opinions, expectations, and internal experience. Working with figurative, narrative oil painting, I create compositions marked by saturated colour and expressive surfaces. Drawing from personal experience and my background in psychology, I approach painting as a space of recognition, reflection and support for women.

I believe in the transformative power of art, where psychology, lived experience, and symbolism come together to explore the complexity of womanhood and give form to what is often left unspoken.
