ABOUT

I do various forms of art, from wall art, fashion, accessories and jewelry. My main focus is on my wall art. I’ve always brainstormed different ways to develop a new form of art that people will always remember. I want this idea to incorporate my fashion design background. What always fascinated me since I was young was fabric and I wanted that to be my medium. While making cardboard umbrella props covered with sequin fabric at a costume design internship in Las Vegas; lead me to the concept of fabric on canvas. It was the best idea that has ever come to mind since I have boxfuls of fabric scraps from earlier projects. I love the idea that I can recycle my fabric scraps and also my unused clothes. It’s an art that the world can appreciate. My overall inspiration comes from fashion and its trends. A few pieces were inspired by a garment I’ve constructed. What also inspires me is nature and jewelry (beads, stones, etc). If it’s not already a flower, you will find some sort of flower reference in my art. My object inspiration comes from geometrical shapes, wallpaper designs and of course nature itself.
