please note…

I do not have a formal artist CV at this time, as my focus has been on developing my work and refining my creative process.

Over the past few years, I have balanced my artistic practice with other commitments, and while I have not yet exhibited widely or applied for grants, I have remained dedicated to my craft. I am now actively pursuing opportunities to present my work in professional settings and engage with a broader audience.

I ask that my lack of a traditional CV not be seen as a limitation, but rather as an opportunity to discover fresh talent and new perspectives.
