Final Touch

This piece was inspired by my late cat. He had an intense rivalry with the mice around our home. One day, I imagined that perhaps those mice might miss him too. That simple thought became the starting point for this sculpture a quiet tribute to an unlikely relationship, seen from a different perspective.

Dream Layers

This piece was inspired by my childhood memory I always wanted to have my own “treehouse,” a place to escape from the world and let my imagination run free.
The techniques used in this work combine various approaches, blending different methods together.

There were no cats, but there are!

Inspired by the line, “My mommy always said there were no monsters. No real ones. But there are.”
A piece about the quiet fears that follow us into dreams maybe they're real, maybe not.
