Born in 1969, I am a self-taught photographer and artist dedicated to capturing the essence of feelings and emotions. What began as photography through my camera lens grew into digital artwork. My artistic journey started during a period of self-discovery and creative expression, where passion and emotion became central to my style.
My view of the world is marked by a sensitivity to subtle details and an insatiable curiosity. I aim to capture what cannot be touched but can be felt: a memory, a desire, a strength, or a vulnerability.
My greatest inspiration comes from my high sensitivity (HSP) and ADHD. These traits shape my experiences and give me a unique perspective. I experience everything more intensely, from emotions to the way the wind moves through the trees. Where others might overlook a detail, I sense the hidden emotion within. This sensitivity, combined with the chaos and creativity of ADHD, helps me see connections that may not seem logical but create something truly unique.
My process is intuitive and organic. I work from feeling, associations, and instinct rather than academic norms. This gives my work a raw, personal honesty, reflecting how I experience the world: intense, chaotic, but full of meaning.
