I’ve been experimenting with color & shape for as long as I can remember. Creating a painting or pattern is often like trying to solve a problem. When I make a piece that I really like, I feel a happy relief.

Most of my work, whether it’s pattern, painting or printmaking, is abstract. I often find ideas and inspiration during my daily walks observing nature and architecture.

Thank you for taking a look at my work!
