As an artist, I am a visual storyteller, a collector of life's fleeting moments and a magician of emotions. My work is born from the wild, uncharted realms of love, where I explore the raw, untamed landscapes of the human heart. Each piece is a journey-woven with intuition, stitched together by craftsmanship and unfolding into new dimensions with every glance. My art isn't just a reflection; it’s a visual rebellion, pushing boundaries and asking us to see the world with fresh eyes.
At the core, my work celebrates the power of connection: love, desire, loneliness, female empowerment, self-acceptance and the dance between vulnerability and strength. We are all shaped by our stories, our insecurities, our multiple selves. My art invites the viewer to step into these stories and bring their own perspective, challenging perceptions and blurring the lines between personal and universal. It’s not just what I create-it’s how you see it, filtered through your own beliefs and experiences.
Respect, love and connection form the heart of what I do. My art is a diary, an open page where perfection is nothing more than a snapshot in time. It’s an invitation to embrace all parts of yourself, to connect with others in love and respect and to release what no longer serves you.
As long as we move with respect, reciprocity, softness and love, we can make the world a little brighter-together.
XPOSURE
It’s time to strip off the masks, smash the boxes, and own every part of the journey. XPOSURE dares me to stand in my truth and feel the pulse of unapologetic love & freedom.

Resurrection, my latest series / Growing up in the 80s, surrounded by jazz, funk, soul, disco, punk and new wave, I experienced a rebellious energy in a city that wasn’t always safe. But the sense of unity, the nights out, meeting friends at the bar or hanging around the church square made everything better. <The good & the bad < Now, almost 35 years later, I’ve returned to the same place—a place I can once again call home. The city is still raw and confronting, but it’s alive, thriving with beautiful creatures who dream, create, love, respect & embrace all parts. This is my story of rebirth…and music was my first love!
