Artist‘s Statement
My work stems from my big imagination and inspiration from things around me. Sometimes my characters have my personal feelings that I tend to not be able to tell others and my characters are a way for me to express myself. I mainly write fiction and some poetry; I tend to experiment with romance and psychological Thriller genres. I want to step out of my little bubble and become like Dandelion seeds that fly free seeking new adventures and challenges in the unknown with hope.
