"My influences range from diverse textile traditions to modernist paintings and contemporary quilts, with my earliest inspiration stemming from my mother's vibrant creations. Dance training instilled in me a love for dynamic patterns, which I now express through textiles, balancing boldness and artistry. Drawing from the notion of paradise as a walled garden, my work as a landscape designer informs my art, where each piece becomes a curated textile garden embodying its climate and atmosphere. As a maximalist, I believe in finding simplicity within complexity, echoing the harmony of a mandala, and I strive to evoke unity and balance, revealing patterns amidst chaos. Ultimately, my art aims to express joy through beauty, transcending aesthetics to connect us all; as Dostoyevsky once said, “Beauty shall save the world.”
