I make work that values process, presence, and material. My practice centers on handworked techniques like embroidery, watercolor, and layered textile applications, often embedding fragmented forms and found objects. I favor visible seams, raw textures, and soft, natural palettes that prioritize crafted over manufactured.

I’m interested in how imperfection builds character, emphasizing transformation as an essential part of creation. Beauty, for me, emerges not from flawlessness but from what is broken, repaired, and made anew. Wrinkles, threads, and uneven edges leave behind traces of labor that make each piece feel lived-in, grounded, and personal. 

These works invite reflective engagement. Through negative space, delicate surfaces, and quiet composition, I create a sense of lightness and suspended stillness. Each piece holds the energy of a moment between. It makes room for memory, individuality, and connection.
