"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 is rooted in memory and lived experience. I build images that shift between presence and fragmentation, allowing instability to remain visible. Rather than fixing form, I let it emerge and adjust through process, guided more by perception and emotional atmosphere than by narrative clarity.
"I paint in the space between chaos and structure, where images are built, unsettled, and continually renegotiated."
