As a Pathway Creator, I am driven by a deep, unwavering desire to help others overcome challenges, find clarity, and embrace the complexities of life. My artwork goes beyond visual appeal—it's about creating meaningful paths that empower growth, spark transformative conversations, and inspire interconnectedness. I blend expressive abstract art with Indigenous and Eastern philosophies, particularly wabi-sabi, which honors the beauty of imperfection, incompleteness, and the ever-changing nature of existence. Through my work, I aim to invite viewers into a deeper exploration of their own journeys, offering an emotional landscape that reflects our shared experiences and the fleeting beauty of life.

A pivotal and impactful moment in my journey occurred when I encountered Willem de Kooning’s Excavation, a work that profoundly expanded my understanding of how art can evoke visceral responses and illuminate the human condition. This experience, along with my later exploration of wabi-sabi, reinforced my commitment to embracing vulnerability, raw emotion, and the beauty found within life's inherent inconsistencies. Growing up with a visible birth defect, I gained personal insight into how people perceive differences in themselves and others. This shaped my understanding of life’s unpredictable nature and inspired my quest to find meaning in its uncertainties. Over time, I embraced wabi-sabi as a way to reconcile with life's inevitable challenges, finding serenity in accepting the impermanence of all things. 

In my art, I capture the fragility of life through suspended canvases, organic color flows, and minimalistic frames. These elements reflect not only the unpredictability of existence but also the human form—exposed, vulnerable, and open to change. My hope is that my work sparks emotional responses that encourage viewers to embrace their unique journeys, find peace in life’s impermanence, and appreciate the beauty in both their imperfections and the richness of diverse identities. Ultimately, my art serves as both a personal exploration and an invitation for others to engage with the emotional landscapes that connect us all, helping us reflect on our shared humanity and the profound beauty in life’s ever-changing moments.
