Statement
My work explores themes of self-exploration, female empowerment, and nostalgia, drawing from personal experience and emotion. Influenced by artists like Kusama and Lichtenstein, I combine graphic patterns, bold lines, and vibrant color, with the use of posca markers, oil paint, and occasional ceramics. I begin each piece with a thought or feeling, letting the process unfold directly on the surface without strict planning. This spontaneous approach allows for freedom and honesty in expression.
