She studied literature and philosophy in France and holds an MFA in Design as an Entrepreneur & Author from SVA. Inspired by psychology and cognitive dissonance, she believes our reality is shaped by our beliefs and trauma: our external world mirrors our internal one. Her art challenges opposites. Think a cactus offering free hugs or two boxers hugging instead of fighting, inviting viewers to feel and think deeply.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it fate. — Carl Jung

Her art infuses poetry, symbolism, cultural commentary, and spirituality. She believes our souls need connection more than anything — to be fully seen.

In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. — Albert Camus
