I am a visual artist and photographer in love with the sewing machine. Photography is at the heart of my artistic practice. It serves as the canvas for my mixed media works, where I combine photography, paint, and textile techniques. I love telling stories—stories of personal journeys, places of longing, and dreams. I explore questions of who we are beyond all norms, constraints, and expectations, and how we might want to express this. Mixed media helps me visualize these questions while leaving ample space for the viewer’s own narrative. Additionally, I enjoy surprising the audience. For example, you might discover a sewn rainbow on a Polaroid. What that means? I gladly leave that up to you to interpret. “Her works convey strength and remind us that life itself is magical.” This is how Caroline de Jastrzebiec, a French writer based in New York, recently described my art.
