I am an abstract and figurative painter based in Richmond, VA. My work draws deeply from the lived experiences of women, with a focus on exploring the full spectrum of emotions that shape their everyday lives.

While mainstream art and photography often depict women in moments of happiness or idealized beauty, my paintings seek to break that narrative. I aim to represent the emotional complexity—grief, joy, rage, vulnerability, and resilience—that defines authentic womanhood.

Through layered textures, bold forms, and emotive color palettes, I create work that invites viewers to see beyond the surface and into the emotional truths so often left unspoken.
