Wild Empress: Oracle of the Untamed
Mixed media mask sculpture | 220cm W x 38cm H
Crowned in antlers and gold, draped in vines and vision, the Wild Empress embodies the meeting point of wilderness, ritual, and regality. She is both mask and monarch, oracle and archetype, a reminder of feminine strength that is untamed yet sovereign.
This large-scale work combines handmade deer antlers crafted from paper mache and armature, a gilded crown, and a masquerade mask. Adorned with looping vines, the piece explores transformation, hidden power, and the balance between nature and ceremony.
Creativa by Collective 24
I'm so excited to share that I’m exhibiting in Creativa, the very first group exhibition by Collective 24 — a group of emerging artists who’ve come together to celebrate creativity without limits.
Being part of this collective has been such a meaningful experience. It's about connection, collaboration, and the courage to share our unique stories and approaches with the world.
Creativa brings together work across a variety of mediums and media — a vibrant, heartfelt celebration of what can happen when different perspectives meet and spark new ideas.

The General Public
