This series of works are a meditation on self-healing, personal growth, and the emotional complexities of being. Through a practice rooted in abstraction and language, I create paintings that serve as both visual diaries and quiet spaces for reflection—especially for women. Words and phrases emerge through layers of paint not as decoration, but as anchors of meaning. These fragments of text hold space for affirmation, vulnerability, and emotional release.

Though I often work with color, my current body of work is rendered in black and white—a deliberate and powerful shift. Removing the seduction and emotional influence of color allows the work to speak with greater clarity and urgency. It is stripped down, direct. With color out of the way, what remains is essence: truth laid bare.

I work intuitively, letting each piece unfold through gesture, texture, repetition, and restraint. The surface becomes a container for inner experience—an archive of transformation and truth-telling. The presence of text acts as a threshold between the visible and the felt, a bridge connecting language to emotion. These works are not just personal—they are invitations into a shared space of resonance, where others might see parts of their own healing reflected.

My text-based paintings are maps of becoming—records of emotional and spiritual thresholds. They function as visual mantras, love letters, and truth-telling entries in my trusted diaries. Each phrase captures a moment of clarity or struggle, a memory, a lesson I want to pass on to my children, and to myself. They are reminders of who I am, who I am becoming, and how I want to live.

The visual language I use borrows from the intimacy of journaling, the catharsis of mark-making, and the slow rituals of emotional repair. These paintings are offerings—quiet but insistent. They document a process of becoming that is ongoing, tender, and real.
