Drawings

Within the narrative of my studio practice, drawing assumes a dual role as both the protagonist and the medium through which my creativity takes form. My vision extends beyond mere watercolor and ink drawings; it is the crafting of a visual tapestry that transcends boundaries, inviting the viewer into a moment where perspective-taking, tradition, and experimentation unfold seamlessly across the surface.

Klee’s playfulness and imaginative approach to art-making inspires me in and out of the studio. Each mark, stroke and composition I make is a deliberate step towards capturing what I see as well as conveying layers of meaning and narrative possibilities.
