My paintings serve as a visual exploration of the feminine experience, and an homage to the domestic sphere. Drawing inspiration from everyday objects, heritage pieces, and elements symbolizing domestic labor and craft, my work seeks to bring the richness of women’s narratives, experiences, and artistic expressions to the forefront. The use of elements like floral imagery, textile patterns, and quilting traditions in my pieces not only represents an exploration of art and craft definitions but also a celebration of the labor and aesthetics predominantly associated with women.

The table, central to my still lifes, is a symbol of community, sharing, and care, highlighting the roles women have traditionally played in nurturing and sustaining communities and families. It serves as a metaphorical space where women’s stories, struggles, and contributions, are celebrated.
