Paradox
Acrylic on linen
My process is deeply embedded in direct experience and observation. Each painting begins with a journey, often to sites of historical and cultural significance. I am drawn to the impermanence of nature, those fleeting moments—a particular quality of light, a pattern of reflection. The trees are central to my interest ,they populate my canvases and stand as sentinels of time, their forms both anchoring the composition and speaking to nature's enduring yet ever-changing presence.

Her work challenges viewers to look beyond surface beauty to consider the deeper historical narratives that shape our understanding of place.
