How to Fly is my most recent body of work, and it’s about learning how to lift yourself when life gets heavy. It follows a woman who builds her own time machines and starships—not out of metal, but out of memory, imagination, and survival. This work comes from real life: financial stress, heartbreak, rejection, starting over, and still choosing love anyway. Flying, here, doesn’t mean escaping responsibility—it means finding ways to rise inside it. Being lifted can look like sitting with people who love you, sharing cake and wine, watching a show that lets your body rest, or remembering who you were before the world told you to shrink. In these paintings, ladders become small acts of faith. Landscapes split into ways up. Childhood wonder returns as strength, not nostalgia. Imagination becomes emotional technology—a way to come back to yourself, again and again. How to Fly is about building softness without losing power, about moving forward while carrying where you come from, and about learning that flight doesn’t always look dramatic—sometimes it looks like staying.”
