My work is a journal of my investigations into the meaning of life.
Is there meaning in this world or is that just a belief to help take us out of our ordinary lives? Does it even matter?
The base assumption is to always be skeptical, even of my own answers.
This exploration is both inner and outer. A story of a different culture or different time catches my attention and I follow the muses down the rabbit hole of what that story unveils. Its connection to other stories, myths, ideas, beliefs. In every one of them is the story of humanity and its search for meaning.
During the creation of each piece, comes a moment where I understand how that story connects to my personal search to understand my own belief systems and question the way I currently see the world.
As above, so below.
The properties of each material and technique I use are an essential part of the story. Ancient artifacts are reinterpreted using current technologies, textiles are woven into unexpected materials, ceramics that replicate an ancient artifact and story. The medium is part of the message.

BITCOIN ART
Money is one of humanity's most transformative inventions, evolving from a simple medium of exchange into a powerful force that shapes social relationships and determines who holds power in society.
Bitcoin is a new form of money.
Some see it as a society altering revolution, while others see it as a scam.
​
Like many technological solutions to age old problems, the story is usually greater than the technicalities of the new invention.

WHEN PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL MERGE
Stories are at the core of our humanity.

* What happens to a physical painting when it is turned into a digital artwork?
* What has more value? The original? The digital? Can they exist separately?

What is forever?
Familiar Strangers
​
If you pay close attention, a person’s face, eyes and expressions tend to tell a lot about them.
Can we get to know someone we´ve never met through their expression in a photo?
​
This series is an emotional exploration of our unseen connection to other human beings.
​
For several years I rummaged through old photos in any flea market I came across and bought the ones that somehow called me.
A photo is a moment in a person’s life.
Through painting that moment I connected with this person. Through the painting they “came back to life” and shared themselves with other people, the spectators, they’ve never met either.
Aren’t we all connected in some way?
Five Generations
This series is an exploration of five generations of women in my family.
Through old photos I found in my grandmother’s drawers and the stories she told me, I painted the lives of the women in my family that I’ve never met.
* How does their story connect to mine?
* How much of my beliefs about myself and the world have been passed down from them?
* How was each woman affected by the times and place she lived in?
* In an rapidly changing world, what connects us to past generations?
​
This is the story of their lives and the untold history of women.
The Fabric of Life
The needle and thread are one of the most important inventions in history.
​
The basic stitches of the earliest found embroidery remain the fundamental techniques used today.
This series is about bringing an art form that holds the memory of humanity into its proper place among the arts.
