Artist Statement

As an artist, I find my inspiration in the natural world around me. Through my paintings, I strive to share my life experiences and the love I have for the beauty of nature with others. My work is characterized by using brayer techniques layered with oil pastels and acrylics on paper. By exploring the fundamental elements of art in my work, I create abstract expressive pieces that communicate the unique stories of botanicals that I have encountered on my journey.

My art reflects the visual effects created by line, texture, and patterns found in nature that are intertwined with vivid and meaningful colors. Each series that I create is an investigation into the uniqueness of botanicals, viewed through the lens of my own life experiences. My aim is to share the joy and wonder that I feel when exploring the natural world with others through my art.

Creating without expectation, I aim to capture a youthful essence in my work that inspires others to embark on a joyful journey of their own. Through my paintings, I hope to communicate what is essential to me and spark a sense of wonder and curiosity in my viewers.
