My paintings explore the intricacies of shadow work often depicting a static nude form in a dark void. I use my likeness in my work, not solely as a statement on body diversity, but also as a means of exploring the complexities of the human psyche with a human form that happens to be my own.

My work is not just about self-acceptance, but about the transformative power of shadow work in all aspects of life. By shining a light on the shadow self, we can find a deeper sense of connection to ourselves and others, and begin to break free from the limitations that hold us back.

I invite the viewer on a journey of self-discovery and exploration, delving deep into the shadows and bringing to light the emotions that we often keep hidden. I aim to capture the raw and vulnerable aspects of the human experience, and the beauty that can emerge from confronting our deepest fears and insecurities.
