Fauve-pop with a twist: Is what I call my Art style, it may include imagery from popular and mass culture; such as advertising, comic books, mundane cultural objects and a possible culmination of snapshots that harvest raw emotion of real people, emphasized in a painterly quality of strong bold color in a representational semi-realistic way to invoke an emotion in the viewer. Artistic influences are Steve McCurry, James Rosenquist, Barbara Kruger, Panama’s Kuna Indians’ Mola and Sandro Chia just to name a few."

Her Interests in Art sparked from an Art exercise given in the 3rd grade while attending P.S. 139, this simple exercise to recreate a Cezanne painting Mount Saint Victoire, using oil pastels and copy paper.
