"Book Smart" reflects the story of my own childhood experience of using books as the foundation to create Barbie houses, turning everyday objects into whole worlds with my imagination. With vibrant colors and bold shapes, this painting captures how I flipped my family's financial limitations into limitless possibilities, creating colorful fantastical worlds from what I could easily access.

My work grows out of memory and lived experience. I let the unpredictable side of life (its disruptions, coincidences, and contradictions) become part of the painting process. By balancing chaos with form, I look for the underlying patterns that run through both my own story and the world we share.
"I paint in the space between chaos and structure, trying to uncover what lies beneath the surface of the self."
