CREATING AND CAPTURING MOMENTS OF BEAUTY IN MATERIAL EXPLORATION

I’m a Romanian-Canadian artist, designer and poet living near Toronto, Canada. I like to experiment with different materials and media to encourage happy accidents, and enjoy creative exploration. I love using my camera to find and capture the beautiful details of ephemeral material alchemy hard to see with the naked eye. I am also interested in exploring the emotional spectrum, and my own personal narrative.
