My art is created through the act of transmuting trauma into treasure.
I use rhinestones, crystals, paint, hats and unique scraps to build an imagined world of dragons, their skins, their treasures and their ghosts. My signature Dragon Skin technique uses meticulously hand-placed stones to form intricate, luminous surfaces.
The hats are wearable art. Treasures transforms old frames into crystal-encrusted objects, with contrasting paintings on their reverse that explore what lies beneath a beautiful facade. Cards brings this world into miniature collectible works.
Behind the sparkle is a story about resilience, hidden emotions and the exploitation of nature. These imagined fragments of dragons ask what happens when something beautiful is hunted, consumed or displayed as a trophy.
Through imagination, focus and the energy of creation, I make work meant to dazzle, provoke thought and bring beauty and joy.
