Flexibility, strength and durability have profoundly inspired my work in the last few years. I
have been deeply affected by the adjustments we are all making to a constantly changing reality
and the resilience I see everyday. Through my paintings, I interpret the relationship between
happiness and deep concern; hope and sorrow; fear and acceptance; compliance and resistance;
isolation and connection. By analyzing these competing forces in my work, I am able to further
explore and understand their value.
