Artist Statement

My work blends fiber, illustration, and design into vibrant, hand-stitched compositions that balance playfulness with depth. Influenced by early exposure to global textiles and the bold aesthetics of the 1970s and 80s, I combine many different media with fabric and embroidery to create richly layered surfaces. Rooted in questions of cultural identity and belonging, my art often explores the in-between spaces of personal history. I hope viewers are drawn in by color and pattern, then invited to pause, reflect, and find intimacy in each thread.​​
