I'm drawn to those places where reality bends: where colors glow a little too brightly, familiar shapes tilt or curve in unexpected ways, ordinary objects reveal a spark of personality. I like to embrace that subtle strangeness, giving the mundane and overlooked a chance to be seen anew. In my work, even the most predictable things are invited to become something more. What excites me most about art is its ability to stir emotion. That possibility fuels my desire to create pieces that feel uplifting, playful, and gently humorous.

Through my artistic voice, I try to offer small moments of joy and hope, trusting that those who connect with my work might carry that feeling forward. If my pieces inspire even a few ripples of warmth beyond my own reach, then I’ve done something meaningful.
