I paint to unlock feminine energies and the spirit of the wild woman archetype—resilient, untamed, and unapologetically authentic—as a way to guide my healing path. Through paintings of my sister and myself, I explore the intricate relationship between our inner and outer worlds, creating spaces where the façades of external reality clash with the raw and unfiltered psyche. This tension reflects the complexities of autoimmune disease; internal thought patterns can manifest in physical symptoms and alter the severity of our conditions. I aim to capture these hidden intersections, revealing how deeply intertwined our inner dynamics are with the bodies we inhabit.
