Western Avenue Studios & Lofts

Still up until September 28th🙌🏽

J- 1.

Tomorrow, I’m all day long at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell for Wonder Women Now.

I’m really proud of this show:
Strong
beautiful
important
allowing major conversations to happen
one person at a time.

One tiny ant step at a time. (yes, if you don't know me, you might not know how persistent I am:). I am a multi recipient of Massachusetts Cultural Council Grants, this project have began in 2016 and has had several iterations, each building on each other.

Women empowerment is not just a word for me.

It's a verb.

Come see this transformative show, celebrating the strength and resilience of survivors of domestic violence.

Since it can happen to anyone.

Share with everyone you can, come with friends and not yet friends. You will be surprised to see how prevalent today abuse is, and how you can empower yourself, your family, your kids, with education.

You can be an active participant in making this world better.

Just come.

My art is my voice in a world often silenced by fear and injustice. Every brushstroke, every medium I engage with, becomes a battle cry against oppression, an anthem of resilience, and an exploration of the human condition. Through my work, I confront the personal and the political, the invisible traumas that shape lives, and the power of hope and transformation. My brush is not just a tool; it is my sword, cutting through silence, shame, and indifference.

At the core of my practice is a deep commitment to women’s empowerment. I explore the complexities of gender, violence, and survival, weaving together narratives that demand visibility and provoke dialogue. I engage with a diverse array of media—painting, installation, sculpture, collage, video—constantly evolving to reflect the multifaceted nature of the stories I tell. My materials are as varied as the emotions I channel: canvas, paper, clay, barbed wire, dolls, Louis Vuitton bags, 18th-century missals, and found objects. Each element holds its own history, which I repurpose to construct a new, visual language of resilience and defiance.

Art, for me, is an act of resistance and a beacon of hope. It has the power to make the invisible visible, to challenge the status quo, and to inspire change. Through my work, I invite you into a world where the complexities of life—its beauty, its pain, its resilience—are explored in depth, with honesty and heart.

What do you think of my new artist statement?

Feedback welcome.
