Artist Statement:
Life is woven together: nature, people, and the experiences we share. Growing up, I watched my mother—a seamstress—create blankets, stitching each piece of fabric with care, symbolizing love and connection. This act of weaving became a powerful metaphor for how women build, nurture, and strengthen communities. Each stitch, though small, contributes to something far greater than the sum of its parts. I believe in the divine feminine—the strength that women carry, not just in leadership, but in their quiet acts of influence. From the women who lead movements to those who nurture families, the impact of their power is undeniable. This strength connects us all and magnifies our collective potential. Through layers of color, texture, and intricate lines, I explore the bonds that tie us together. These threads, both visible and invisible, form the fabric of our shared experiences, and they are made stronger by the women who lead and uplift. Just as my mother stitched love into each blanket, the ties between us—woven through relationships, nature, and resilience—create a tapestry of strength. Together, we rise. Together, we are stronger.
