Sonic Heroines

The Sonic Heroines series was inspired by my desire to create artwork that transcends conventional boundaries. Every woman has a unique story that deserves to be heard and honored, yet many have been silenced for far too long. This series aims to challenge traditional portraiture and amplify the voices of remarkable women, both past and present—on a local and global scale.

By combining my abstract backgrounds with my detailed drawings, these portraits explore and honor their journeys. This series represents both my artistic vision and mission, and I am committed to painting these portraits until all their voices are heard.
