I am a printmaking artist working primarily with collagraphy, monotype, intaglio and linocut. My practice explores the expressive possibilities of graphic art by combining traditional techniques with unconventional materials such as threads, textiles, and natural elements. Through a slow and meditative process, I create tactile, intimate works that reflect personal emotions, the female figure, and the connection between humans and nature, seeking a sense of stillness and harmony.
