Artist Statement
My work is rooted in activism and inspired by artists like Corita Kent, Barbara Kruger, The Guerrilla Girls, and Shepard Fairey - those who use bold visual language to challenge systems and inspire action. Through my prints, I explore themes of climate anxiety, political division, and personal agency. I aim to spark reflection, encourage dialogue, and ultimately, invite people to believe in the possibility of change.
