Artist Bio:
My artwork is done using good material quality cardstock or fabric that is carefully cut into geometric forms, juxtaposed to create color patterns, and serves as your invitation to a world of creativity without bounds.

My drawing lines reflect life, relationships, power, connection, and capability. There is beauty all around us waiting to be seen and used, as well as potentiality hiding inside us waiting to emerge. I like to turn a simple thing into a beautiful and inspirational piece. Since I don't plan my work, I let the ideas emerge intuitively, ending in an original, sometimes non-duplicated, and unique piece.

 Butterflies are friendly and likable. Growing up, I did not understand their different steps before becoming such remarkable creatures. Their presence ensures us that everything will be fine no matter what. I use butterflies in almost all of my artwork. They represent beauty, blessing, resilience, and, perseverance. When life is bitter, mother nature has always been the answer.

I am fascinated with geometric lines, especially triangle shapes, that are noticeable everywhere to any observer. It portrays a higher level, of balance, great foundation, power, and prosperity. Every line, text, pattern, combined to produce these pieces point to the endless possibilities of the human imagination, and the deep connection between humans and the world around us.

Handwriting is an art and a therapy for the brain. My writing adds a touch script to my work and encourages spirituality, self-confidence, courage, and more for those who need it.
