I specialize in creating collage art using a diverse range of materials like fabric, paper, flowers, metal, wood, found objects, photographs, and various mediums such as acrylic, watercolor, and gouache. My artwork focuses on themes of family, community, celebration, culture, and history, encapsulating memories of joy, love, and spirituality to evoke positive emotions. The influence of dance is a prominent feature in my pieces, symbolizing the essence of life or the inner spirit. I view the life force as a unified entity, present in all things, reflected in my art that often omits individualistic features like hair or facial details to emphasize our interconnectedness. Embracing the beauty of the human form, I frequently incorporate representations of female anatomy. While I lack formal training in art, I have honed my skills through various art classes, relying on my instinctual understanding of composition and color. Each creation is a form of reverence, a meditative practice, a harmonious engagement with the creative process. I express gratitude to the spiritual realm for guiding my artistic journey and fostering personal growth with every new piece I craft.
