My Work 

My work is an exploration of the process how we endlessly arrange and rearrange the pieces of memories, emotions, relationships, and experiences that make up our lives.

This includes its uncertainties, randomness, indefinable nature and endless manifestations.

I am motivated by my love of bold colour, pattern, and expressive power of abstract design.

I see the beauty in shapes, textures, and colours that go often unnoticed by the average passer-by. 

When arranging shapes the story evolves. I envision how the composition will illustrate concepts and ideas. 

Colour will establish mood and the placement of shapes and lines imply the situation.

Spontanity of the process is what excites me, because I truly believe: “there are no mistakes ….. there is only your art.”

The pieces are coming to life with their visual dance and tactile qualities, which can be achieved by using different papers, yarns, etc.

My pieces are about coming together, making connections.

If the art I make stirs the viewer to a higher awareness and appreciation of the world around them, then I humbly consider myself to be successful as an artist.
