Italian Date
What better inspiration than the food and weekend rituals we love? An Italian dinner for two.
This artwork was inspired by an evening when my husband cooked a delicious Italian dinner for us. Created using two different pile heights, it has a playful, three-dimensional effect that brings the design to life. It comes framed and is one of my favourite pieces.

Let it burn
This piece began spontaneously, just me, music, and drawing what I felt directly onto the canvas. I love doing this because it lets my unconscious take the lead, and the results always surprise me. This time, the result: Let It Burn. A work that, without realizing it, expresses my respect and admiration for those of us who belong to the world’s minorities and who remain steadfast, refusing to stay silent in the face of what happens. Inspired by these minorities, where some of us somehow find ourselves. Don’t stop being yourself. Keep expressing yourself, and never hide who you are 🌈.
I leave the rest of my interpretation to your imagination. Every color, every dimension, every detail represents something special 🧚♀️ I hope you can see it too. Let It Burn 🔥.

Night waves and the blood moon
This piece can be seen in many ways. For some, it may be night; for others, day. For some, the sun; for others, the moon. For some, waves; for others, clouds. And I love that 🤍 because what I want with this work is to raise awareness for social change, no matter our differences. We may see things differently, but we should unite for peace.
I used two different tufting guns and only three colours to create this piece. The moon glows red, symbolizing change and honouring the innocent lives lost in Iran. Its blood red colour also represents the courage of Iranian women protesting and risking their lives for freedom.
The waves carry a subtle 3D effect, flowing like whispers of healing, while a touch of bright blue represents light at the end of the night. I emphasized the 3D effect because it represents movement, which in turn symbolizes migration. For me, it is a way to honour the innocent immigrants who are losing their lives in America.
So yeah, this work was created while reflecting on the sad news we’re hearing from around the world lately (and also those we’re not even aware of yet). But it is a work created with faith. It calls for strength, forgiveness, and reclamation. It reminds us that even in the darkest night, we humans are creating movement, and that peace will come ♥️.

New Beginnings
This piece was inspired by the love and authenticity of a couple.
At the entrance of their first home, two colourful stained-glass windows come together to form a sun. It was the first house they purchased, and that window, striking and full of light, felt like a reflection of who they are together.
They have been light. They have brought color, not only to their own story, but to the lives of many others.
That glass sun became a symbol of their journey: of new beginnings, of authenticity, and of the warmth they radiate.
Today, that sun takes form in threads and texture, a woven embrace for their first home and what they represent in the life of those who love them.

Morning sun
Inspired by the power of the sky.
No matter where you are, if there’s a window nearby and you pause to look up, you’ll inevitably feel lighter.
The sky reminds us how small we are in this vast world, and how beautiful that feeling can be.

I can give you flowers
This piece was drawn on the canvas without any idea in mind, I simply followed whatever came to me.
Later, I realised I hadn’t respected the borders of the frame… and that made it even more beautiful.
Sometimes, we bloom beyond the rules.

Portal of dreams
With this piece, I tried to express a message that came to me after a long meditation.
Look deeper. Zoom in. You’re in...a new door has opened.
