A visual artist living and working in Minneapolis, MN. I have worked and studied in Scotland, Dundee in DJCAD University, and at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
Working primarily in painting and assemblage, my body of work also includes
sculpture, installation, and Photography, and I have been included in several Solo and group exhibitions.
My artistic journey began with a focus on mental health awareness, depicting bipolar disorder in a project. Additionally, my ongoing collection, “Human Degeneration,” addresses environmental problems and contemporary human degeneration, using shapes and colors to evoke chaos and turbulence.
Through my art, I strive to portray humans attempting to understand themselves and society to improve their knowledge. Recently, I have been working on women’s subjects and studying issues related to women’s society and their struggles. My artistic approach aims to resonate with my audiences, fostering a fusion of powerful emotions.
