Artist Statement:

My work explores the intersection of the natural world and the human experience through vibrant, illustrative printmaking. Using the language of color, texture, and visual density, I create spaces that invite viewers to explore — like wandering through a two-dimensional narrative.

Rooted in printmaking, my practice thrives on the balance between process and play. The medium allows me to build layered, colorful environments that range from quiet and contemplative to loud, maximalist, and sometimes humorous. These active scenes that evoke curiosity and reward close attention.

Ultimately, I want my work to take viewers on a visual journey. Not just to observe a scene, but to travel through it — to get lost in the details, to linger in its atmosphere, and to emerge with something new each time.
