Artist statement
“I used to be hard on myself when I failed.
But turning those failures into triumphs has taught me that they’re some of the most powerful learning experiences.
Every misstep is a lesson. Every failed painting becomes the foundation for a masterpiece. And every challenge deepens our gratitude for the good times.
Whenever I feel like giving up, I remind myself why I started creating in the first place.
Why is my story important? How can I share it without fear, inspiring others to do the same? I take the lessons I’ve learned and transform them into art. Art is transformative, even healing.
Each of us carries a creative voice within, waiting for the courage to express it.”
