Artist Statement

As a contemporary relief printmaker, my work is deeply rooted in the exploration of womanhood, body autonomy, and body positivity. Through lino and woodcut prints, I seek to reclaim and celebrate the female form, acknowledging its power, complexity, and beauty in all its manifestations. My prints are not only an exploration of the self but a call to embrace the natural world and its connection to our identities. Nature, in all its cycles and rhythms, serves as a metaphor for the human body, and both become sites of transformation and growth.

With a background in illustration, my work is imbued with a strong narrative element, where folklore and magic intertwine with the mundane. Each piece is crafted by hand, ensuring that every mark and texture adds to the story being told. I draw inspiration from the wisdom of ancient myths, as well as the everyday experiences of modern life, blending the fantastical with the familiar. My prints encourage a dialogue between the sacred and the everyday, offering space for the viewer to contemplate their own relationship with selfhood, the body, and the world around them.

The tactile nature of relief printing allows me to connect with my medium in a personal and intimate way, adding layers of meaning to each work. In the act of carving and printing, I engage in a dialogue with the materials themselves, drawing upon their rawness to express the nuances of identity and the strength found in vulnerability. Through my art, I strive to inspire a deeper understanding of the body as a site of empowerment, a source of magic, and a testament to the enduring relationship between the individual and the environment.
