Art is my way to explore, feel, and sort through my emotions and experiences, especially those that don't make sense to me. My process for creating it is organic and intuitive — sometimes I have a clear direction in my mind before I begin, but more often the composition reveals itself to me.

I start with a found image, often from a book or magazine, and combine it with other found images or my own photography to create layered works that reflect the complexities of life.

The objects in my collages are chosen with intention. Each one is emotional and evocative on its own, using visual language to express what’s hard to put in words. But when placed together, the seemingly unrelated objects find new rhythm and meaning.

I refer to my art practice as "following the wonder." It reflects my spiritual practice of listening to the subtle guidance of the universe — like following breadcrumbs left on the path and trusting they'll lead somewhere meaningful.
