My work explores the relationship between visual form and human consciousness.

For more than fifteen years, I have been creating geometric compositions that investigate how color, pattern, rhythm, and structure influence the way we feel, think, and experience ourselves. I don’t create artwork simply to be viewed. I create artwork to be experienced. My intention is to create images that invite stillness, reflection, curiosity, and a deeper connection to one’s inner world.

Before becoming a full-time artist, I spent many years working as a school psychologist in New York City. My work centered on helping children and families understand growth, development, and the challenges that arise throughout life. During that time, I began creating geometric drawings as a personal creative practice.

What started as a simple act of drawing gradually became something more intriguing. People would spend time with the work and describe feeling calmer, more focused, more organized, or more connected to themselves. Their responses sparked a question that continues to guide my work today: how do visual patterns affect us in ways we may not fully understand?

I think of my pieces as working art.

The colors, shapes, and relationships within each composition are chosen intentionally. My interest lies not only in how an artwork looks, but in how it feels to live with over time. Many viewers describe experiences of calm, focus, inspiration, reflection, or emotional connection when spending time with the work. While each person’s experience is unique, my hope is that these pieces create space for people to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and notice something that may have been waiting quietly beneath the surface. I don’t claim to have all the answers. What continues to fascinate me is the possibility that visual form can influence us in ways that extend beyond conscious thought. 

I was born in Finland and now live and work in New York City.

Growing up surrounded by forests, water, long winters, and bright summers taught me to pay attention to subtle things. That way of seeing continues to influence both my life and my work. Today my practice sits at the intersection of art, psychology, personal development, and curiosity about what it means to be human.
