I am a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, installation, and wearable art. I explore cultural identity, migration, memory, and belonging, telling culturally grounded, celebratory stories through expressive, hand-crafted textures, colour, and figures. I combine a fine art practice with strong technical proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, preparing clean, layered files for digital and animated formats. With over 15 years of experience across illustration, painting, and visual arts education, my work has been exhibited in more than 30 group and solo exhibitions internationally.
