Artist Statement

My work explores the intersection of functional art, ornamentation, and traditional craftsmanship. Through handcrafted lighting, restored antique elements, textiles, beadwork, and illuminated parasols, I create one-of-a-kind pieces designed to bring atmosphere, beauty, and visual presence into contemporary spaces and experiences.

Handcrafted Parasols

Handcrafted fashion parasols that combine traditional handwork with bold color and decorative detail. Each parasol is made individually by hand using hand-dyed textiles with smooth ombré color transitions and may include fringe, appliqué, beading, ruffles, or LED lighting. Designed for weddings, festivals, performances, and expressive everyday wear, the parasols function both as sun protection and as wearable art. Every piece is created as a one-of-a-kind work with a strong focus on craftsmanship, color, and individuality.
