My art is rooted in storytelling — a dialogue between the seen and unseen, the light and shadow within us all. I work across mixed media, often combining pencil, charcoal, and pen with carefully chosen touches of colour and gold leaf to highlight emotion and energy. 

Symbolism plays a central role in my process. Birds, flowers, animals, and mythological figures appear throughout my work as metaphors for love, grief, healing, and rebirth. Spiritual imagery often guide the compositions, weaving together narratives that reflect both personal experiences and universal themes of transformation. 

At its heart, my practice is about connection — between the inner world and outer landscape, between human emotion and the natural cycles that mirror it. My darker works explore grief, trauma, and vulnerability, while my softer, nature-inspired pieces hold space for healing, reflection, and hope. 

Through my art, I want to offer a moment of recognition — an echo of the viewer’s own journey — and to remind people that even in shadow, there is beauty, meaning, and light.
