Artist Statement
Beyond The Surface is a multi-sensory exploration of what remains hidden until we choose to look closer.
Through paintings created from recycled materials, I invite viewers into a narrative arc that moves from struggle to sovereignty.
This collection emerged from a personal commitment to healing. After years of navigating depression, abuse, and addiction, I discovered that art could be both mirror and medicine.
Each painting explores the invisible terrain we all inhabit: the grip of trauma, the sacredness of motherhood, and the quiet power of choosing differently.
Under shifting lights , the paintings transform. Words emerge. Meaning deepens.
Healing is not linear. It reveals itself in layers.
