Becoming: A Journey in Color and Emotion
This ongoing series of abstract paintings is a deeply personal unraveling — a visual memoir of inner struggle and soul-level healing. Each canvas captures the layered, complex process of working through buried emotions, past trauma, and long-carried baggage, while also honoring the beauty of resilience and the quiet triumph of becoming whole.

In the studio, I move intuitively, guided by music that shifts with my emotional landscape. As I listen to a wide spectrum of artists, genres, and moods, the music becomes both companion and compass — allowing color, texture, and movement to speak where words cannot.

This is more than paint on canvas. It’s a raw and evolving conversation with myself — an exploration of identity, release, integration, and emergence. These works reflect not only what I have moved through, but who I am becoming: the truest expression of myself, aligned with the destiny of my soul.
