Works

In her works, she tries to move the viewer away from the immediate environment, and transform her/him to a world of dreams and splendor. She hopes her work creates a feeling of hope, contentment, and freedom. Because she believes we live in a world where malice is omnipresent, the responsibility of an artist is to express the beauty within every object and being. She maintains that art should take viewers to a peaceful place, even if for a few moments, beyond the material world, and expose them to the direction of existential energy.

Entering the world of art, and searching for its complex dimensions, was a new beginning in her life.

This was the start of a path to which there is no ending.

  Life is a curious journey

      It flows like a raging river

          It is about being, moving, and becoming free

              It is about love , passion, and amazement

                  It runs and flows

                      And we must give ourselves fully to it
