About the artist
Welcome to the heart and soul behind the art.
I started making art again because I needed to heal. But somewhere in that process, something shifted. I stopped trying to fix myself and started becoming someone new, the person I actually wanted to be. That shift changed everything about how I work.
I build my sculptures layer by layer. Not just physically, but intentionally. Because I believe that's how we grow too, you have to peel back what's on the surface, go deep enough to find your core, and then slowly, carefully, build yourself back up. Layer by layer. I add depth and light to everything I make. Not just as a technique, but as a reflection of what I look for in the world, in people, in moments, in the quiet things most people walk past. Depth. Light. A kind of hopeful glow that says there's more here than meets the eye.
I'm not trying to make art that speaks to everyone. I'm finding my people, the ones who see the world differently. And I'm making pieces that reflect exactly that: the beauty of becoming, the courage it takes to go deep, and the quiet joy of choosing to see the light.
My work expresses profoundly personal stories centered around transformation, vulnerability, and the rediscovery of self-worth. The iridescent surfaces that catch and reflect light mirror our own capacity for change. How can we emerge from difficult challenges not just intact, but radiant and full of inner light.
Each piece in the Ethereal Series stands as evidence that even in our most difficult moments, we retain the capacity to reflect light, to create beauty, to move and be moved.
Through this work, I invite viewers to experience their own state of being moved; to feel that stirring recognition of possibility, that gentle reminder of their own inner glow and radiance.
