About

Her work combines detailed, semi-realistic painting with research-driven storytelling, highlighting animals often overlooked in conservation conversations.

Artist Statement

My work centers on endangered species and the stories they carry. Each piece begins with research and aims to translate complex conservation issues into something emotional and accessible. I often focus on lesser-known animals to broaden awareness beyond the familiar, using composition and detail to draw attention to what is at risk. Through my work, I hope to create moments of connection that encourage curiosity, empathy, and action.
