  • Collaboration is the fusion of creative ideas and processes, allowing individuals to achieve something beyond what they could accomplish alone. For me, it unlocks new possibilities for exploration, experimentation, and innovation.

  • A successful collaboration ensures that everyone involved feels seen, respected, and fairly compensated. Even if the final outcome is a success, the process itself must foster mutual respect and equity to truly be considered collaborative.

  • The most transformative moments in my artistic journey have been those where I’ve found empowerment through experiencing other artists’ work or hearing how others connect with my own. These encounters push me to explore further and offer reassurance that I’m effectively communicating through my art.

  • Evolving. My creative journey spanned various design and creative industries before landing in fine art. It took time to recognize these experiences as interconnected parts of a greater whole, shaping my unique perspective and how I tell stories.
