Statement

My work explores themes of nature, security, and self-reliance through imagery of makeshift shelters and hidden spaces. These structures reflect ideas of childhood, survival, and the quiet ingenuity of building with whatever is at hand. I use etching and aquatint to create layered, atmospheric prints in a limited palette. Rather than tell a story, I aim to evoke stillness and a sense of intimacy in forgotten places.
