Her visual language flows between fluid lines and structured forms, revealing a sensitivity that adapts intuitively to each narrative. Often warm and subtly dreamlike, her work blends emotional nuance with visual metaphor—while holding space for edgier, street-inspired expressions.
When she isn’t drawing, you’ll find her savoring fiery dishes or embarking on a spontaneous adventure.
