My paintings transform everyday spaces—gardens, interiors, and personal objects—into richly colored, gestural worlds where observation and invention intertwine. Rooted in a feminist lineage that reclaims the domestic as a site of vision and resilience, my work preserves what is fragile and fleeting while celebrating the joy and vitality of daily life.
