The women I paint are emotional states made visible. They aren’t portraits of specific people, but reflections—snapshots of what I’m moving through at a given moment. Each one represents a different part of me, shaped by memory, mood, or quiet internal shifts.
They’re not meant to be fully understood. They’re meant to be felt.
Some of them carry softness, some carry rage. Some are adorned in joy, while others hold the weight of grief or longing. But all of them come from the same place—a need to process the invisible through something tangible. In painting them, I give form to what can’t be said out loud.
There’s often a romantic or whimsical edge to these figures. Even in heaviness, I lean into beauty. Texture, symbolism, and detail allow the work to hold more than one truth at once. These women are storytellers, dreamers, and guardians of my inner world. They mark chapters in a nonlinear timeline of growth, heartbreak, hope, and transformation.
They aren’t asking for interpretation. They’re offering presence.

Mater De , Vincta
Acrylic on Wood, 95x48
This Madonna captures a state of being too much and not enough all at once—a vessel for both devotion and guilt. Love feels conditional here: too little invites distance, too much becomes unwieldy. Her tears reflect that emotional tension. The sacred heart glows with longing, wrapped in jeweled thorns. Above her, a dove nests peacefully among snakes, suggesting the coexistence of grace and danger. The red robe symbolizes expectation and ritual, while rope-bound hands offer blessing through restraint. This piece explores the pressure to earn affection, the cost of emotional performance, and the quiet strength in simply being witnessed.





Joy as an Act of Resistance
Acrylic on wood
She captures a moment of soft defiance. The central figure blooms with color and clarity, even as strands of lily of the valley—poisonous and creeping—weave through her. These flowers echo quiet, destructive thoughts that linger beneath beauty. A vulture rests in her arms, not as a threat, but as a symbol held without fear. The calm between them suggests power reclaimed from what could harm. Her shawl links her visually to the Madonna in Decorated Vessel, weaving themes of resilience, restraint, and reverence. This piece honors the radical act of choosing joy amid inner unrest.
