At the heart of my practice is a fascination with what lies beneath the surface—both literally and metaphorically. Jung's teachings, especially his ideas about archetypes and the universal symbols embedded within our psyches, provide a conceptual foundation for my work. My painting series is a visual meditation on the invisible forces that move through us: emotions we cannot name, memories we cannot place, and dreams that dissolve upon waking. These internal fragments are rendered through abstract forms that emerge from a fluid and organic creative process..
