As an “Artist on the Loose,” I embrace the freedom and spontaneity that comes with creative exploration. My art is inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and the diverse landscapes of my surroundings. Each piece is a dialogue—a whimsical celebration of identity, community, and the shared human experience. I believe in the power of art to foster connection and provoke thought, and I invite you to join me in this journey of discovery. Through my work and through my art teaching, I hope to inspire others to embrace their own creative paths and find beauty in the unexpected.
