I have been painting for as long as memory holds me. My work begins long before the first brushstroke. It starts with a feeling that refuses to leave. A body that changes. A forgotten story. A landscape. A book. A question about what we owe each other. About women. About what it means to remain human.

I studied art and design, rooted in philosophy and political science, and mother of three — I have spent over 25 years at the intersection of art, culture, and the creative industry. Building brands, shaping museums, connecting communities. Since 2026 art is my focus. Not a departure. A return.

Nature is my point of departure. It teaches that transformation is not loss, but the very movement of life. Across my work, bodies become landscapes, memories become collective, and personal stories unfold into larger narratives about identity, feminism, oppression, belonging, and resilience.

A figure is never just a figure. An animal is never only an animal. Every image carries traces of history, of lived experience, and of the invisible forces that shape us.

I want my paintings to ask something of us. To slow us down. To remember. To feel. To see one another again.
