Welcome to the Matriarchs of Power Journal
This journal is where I'll be documenting the creation of my debut professional collection, Matriarchs of Power.
For the past few months I've stepped away from creating finished artwork and instead focused on building a body of work with purpose. Every painting in this collection is inspired by mythology, folklore and the natural world, celebrating feminine strength through expressive portraiture, wildlife and layered mixed media.
I'll be sharing the process behind each piece, the inspiration that shaped it, the materials I'm experimenting with, the lessons I'm learning and the occasional success and failure along the way.
When the collection is complete, every original painting and selected limited edition print will be available here on the website.
Whether you've found my work through Instagram, TikTok or simply stumbled across this website, thank you for being here at the very beginning.
I hope you enjoy following the journey.
