Before discovering my love for film, I was a visual artist regularly exhibiting my paintings in galleries, museums, and at art fairs. My largest body of work follows the development of my oldest child who I painted for about a decade. As I observed the growth of my daughter, I was at the same time reexamining my own childhood. This artistic process later helped me transition naturally into both child-centered narrative films and documentary filmmaking.
