I am an artist and a photographer with a bold, abstract style, and I am a passionate advocate for women’s rights, empowerment, and strength. My work is a reflection of my beliefs—unapologetically authentic, unhurried, laid-back, and free.

My art grows out of a way of being—grounded and present, moving at a rhythm that feels natural rather than rushed. It’s about living in tune with the simple things, trusting that beauty reveals itself when we allow space for it. This way of being carries into everything I create: the quiet strength of a portrait, the boldness of abstract form, the tenderness of connection. It calls back to a time when people had space for one another and joy was found in smaller things—the smell of the earth, the beauty of wildflowers, the sound of laughter, the light of stars, and the feeling of being wild and free.

For me, creating is both an act of self-expression and a way of connecting with others—a reminder of the strength and hope we carry within us, and the freedom that comes when we dare to show ourselves fully.

Myr self-portrait, which captures my own resilience and determination, has been recognized with a national award from the Canadian National Museum for Human rights, the portrait has been exhibited in Portugal, Spain and most recently the Holocaust Museum Houston, Texas.
