My work encompasses drawings, paintings, photography, installations, ceramics, and collages.  All grounded in a broad and investigative frame of reference. I am fascinated by the complexity of nature and the way structures, patterns, and colors seem to organize themselves, creating order within chaos. This autonomous force, in which separate elements become interconnected without a visible creator, forms an essential foundation of my practice.

I am equally intrigued by the human psyche, including behavior, emotions, and the interplay between brain and body. I am fascinated by how internal processes manifest in form, material, and image. My love for scientific research and testing effective elements informs my artistic process, allowing me to approach my work both intuitively and analytically.

As an art therapist, I experience how creating and psychology continuously strengthen one another. These two worlds merge in a practice where imagination, research, and lived experience come together. My work connects personal fascinations with stories, traditions, and rituals from diverse cultures, seeking the underlying structures that connect us as human beings and as part of nature.
