Artist Statement
I create art to tell stories of hope, resilience, and identity. My practice blends drawing, painting, and digital art, often highlighting voices and experiences that are overlooked. Through my work, I aim to connect people and inspire empathy, whether on the gallery wall or in the classroom. For me, art is more than an image, it is a way to heal, to include, and to leave behind stories that matter.
