Her projects have been exhibited internationally, including Medina Art Gallery in Rome as of 2026.

Her broader mission through The Almanac is to redefine an artist’s role in society by creating a sustainable network for creative opportunities.
SURREAL FIGURATIVE LANDSCAPES REFLECTING THE INNER PSYCHE
"Through representing people in dark realities, I am analyzing the emotional turmoil underlying our behaviors.
I am attracted to how we psychologically manifest various experiences in our lifetime, and how that can relate to those other than us. My work begs the viewer to reexamine their private life, to acknowledge their emotions, and to question how their experiences have shaped the person they have become in society.
With my use of dramatic light against darkness, winding landscapes, and expressive figures, I create both paintings and drawings that feel boundless and stressful.
My work attempts to reveal the intimacy of the viewer’s experiences to allow them to connect with themselves as well as those whom are strangers."
