I am a mixed-media Romanian-Canadian artist, based in New Brunswick and I draw inspiration from my Romanian heritage and culture.

For me, creating art is a way of connecting with my roots and exploring my identity. In my more recent pieces, I have experimented with combining hand stitched traditional Romanian embroidery designs with other traditional elements - typically mosaics and architectural elements.

I want my artwork to be a reminder of the beauty and richness of Romanian culture, and I hope that it inspires others to explore and visit my beautiful Romania.
