Artist Statement
I am a typical island girl who loves being in or near the ocean. I’m almost always listening to music. While I’m family-oriented, I am also introverted.
Using mostly acrylic paint on canvas, my work focuses on introspection, exploring memories and emotions. I draw inspiration from surrealism, abstract expressionism, and natural patterns. I consider my art a form of personal therapy, with a higher purpose of sparking meaningful conversations about mental health.
