I portray women with their thoughts, emotions and their stories. I create these women, these canvasses, in order to show and reassure women, that no matter how turbulent our past has been, it is always steppingstones in the right direction.
These artworks reflect emotions, lessons learned, scars and lives lived, and my intention is to inspire women to live their lives to the fullest.
