Artist Statement

My art practice is rooted in healing. As a trauma-focused mental health therapist and artist, I use intuitive collage and non-traditional watercolor techniques to explore trauma, memory, and transformation. I move through timelines, revisiting the past and reconfiguring it through layered mixed media—hand-cut painted flowers, human and animal figures, and symbolic elements. 

Using vibrant colors and dream-like compositions, I create scenes that reflect both the fragmentation and beauty of the healing journey. Collage gives me the freedom to rearrange, reclaim, and rebuild from what was once broken. Highly saturated watercolors bring life to each piece, bringing magical healing elements that amplify possibilities. Each piece becomes a mirror, a medicine, a portal—inviting the viewer into their own layered history and the gifts that await them in the dark.
