ARTIST STATEMENT
“Either you sell yourself and thus empty out, or you stay on the fringes and fight for your ideas...” Pierre Clémenti (French, 1943-1999)
My work in public spaces bridges the juxtaposition of street art and fine art, challenging the boundaries that traditionally separate them.
I go out into world without fear—unconcerned with labels, judgments, or societal expectations. I assert my presence as a woman and an artist who dares to create differently, unapologetically. At the core of what I do, is my non-conforming spirit and view of what art is.
I am the artist who paints in the street—often invisible to most, occasionally seen by some. My performative practice in public spaces seeks to dissolve prejudice and challenge the structures that continue to exclude so many. It is an act of inclusion, dialogue, anti-conformity, an invitation to engage with art outside of institutional walls.
I paint to music, allowing sound to intertwine with the visual. What I feel, observe, and intuit becomes visible through energetic movement, color, and form. The result is a rhythmic, expressive language that dances across the canvas and within the space I inhabit. I paint what is often unseen, so others might begin to see what I believe is worth noticing.
The streets are my studio and my stage, where the public is welcomed to interact with me and observe my work. Here, I meet the public, and the public meets me—and my work. These urban encounters are both deeply personal and profoundly communal.
Painting in public is my way of saying: I am here. So many of us are here.
In these moments, I become included, and fully engaged in sharing my art and my unique vision of what art can be.
I claimed this space in the public realm years ago, unknowingly, I stepped into a lineage—I paint in the very streets of SoHo that once carried the voices and gestures of my artistic predecessors in SoHo. It was not coincidence, but a continuation.
To many, I am simply the artist who brings a moment of joy to a random city corner. Abstractly, I embody music and rebellion. Through abstraction, I create rhythmic compositions that move with intention. Figuratively, my work draws upon ancient art and the female form, embodying spirituality, symbolism, and simplicity. These images explore the mystical and the occult, questioning societal norms—especially as they relate to gender, power, rights, destiny and visibility.
My work speaks through color and simplicity of form.
It challenges expectations and reminds the viewer that empowerment is a mindset in action. It resists the idea that value is tied to place or status. It serves as a reminder that art is rooted in dialogue and in the unique perspectives of artists.
As an artist, I am one among many—and yet, I am not. I refuse to conform.
To me, art is not a business transaction. Art is life. Everything I do speaks of my intention embedded in my work.
My main goal is to create work that can speak about the present, holding space for reflection about our connection to the world around us, and to the inner world filled with imagination and personal interpretations of the world.
