"I create art highlighting overlooked women, inspired by their stories and community. My work, influenced by our shared experiences as women of color, blends various techniques to explore the female form's emotional depth. Each piece starts with a story that influences its perspective, capturing a spectrum of emotions and celebrating the resilient spirit of womanhood through vibrant, symbolic imagery."
