Her illustrations center on relationships, intimacy, and the quiet complexities of modern life, often told through a female perspective. She is particularly interested in in-between moments – what is felt but not said, what is hidden, and what lingers beneath the surface.
Her work combines analog and digital processes, resulting in textured, vibrant images with a strong emotional tone.
