I use my work to investigate memories of displacement and mental health. I use gouache and acrylic paints and ink on various surfaces. Map making and abstraction are my main interests. I try to find a balance between the control and planning of creating a map and the intuition and spontaneity of abstraction. In all the forms of my work, I want to use my ideas as a point of departure that eventually leads to objects and images that are both familiar and strange configurations of their sources.
