Mixed Media Large Canvas
Large-scale mixed media explorations on canvas and recycled paper. Each piece emerges from intuitive process, combining acrylic, collage, and mark-making to express something deeply felt.
Learning to Hold Myself
Mixed media with recycled paper collage
48 × 60 inches
This piece came from a place of deep vulnerability and struggle with the feeling that my body had failed me. As I worked on the painting, I began to realize that before anything else, I needed to learn how to care for myself. The figure holds fear in it as a way of acknowledging that process. For me, the work became about self-compassion, forgiveness, compassion, and the slow practice of learning to love my body again.
Interior Weather
Acrylic and tissue paper on panel
30 × 40 inches
This painting came from a very intuitive place. I was curious about texture, studying specific areas I was responding to in my mood at the time and letting the surface build slowly through layers of acrylic, paint, and collage. I experimented with tissue paper in the paint to create depth. The process was about exploration, allowing the textures and colors to shift naturally as the work developed.
Stripped Bare

48 × 48 inches
This one is about vulnerability and raw honesty. Working through grief and trying to understand who I am after losing something I had carried as a dream for many years. I work intuitively, responding to the emotions that arise. The figure keeps appearing as someone being stripped down to the core. The layers of recycled paper hold the history of that process. For me, the work reflects being undone and slowly rebuilding a life with new meaning.
