Artist Statement
My artwork is a testament of my love for humanity and each emotional connection. As a mother, I find inspiration in the beauty and innocence of childhood and the memories it evokes. My portraits are about capturing moments and preserving the emotions they carry. My children and the vibrant community around me are not just subjects but the essence of my art. Their presence fuels my love for color and emotion, which I strive to infuse into my drawings and paintings. Through my art, I aim to transport viewers to a time of simplicity and beauty, urging them to cherish the memories we create and to see how precious life truly is.
