Small things can mean so much…..and you may never know how your words and actions can impact someone.
Artist Statement
In my life’s journey, I have discovered the profound impact of small things.
My art is a testament to the profound impact of small things. Just as a single brushstroke can bring a canvas to life, I believe in the significance of small actions and details, both in life and art. I begin my creative process by printing textures and colors on paper, which I then use to construct intricate landscapes on paper or wood substrates. These landscapes become my canvas for exploration, where I embellish them with a unique blend of paint, pastels, pens, and various materials.
I am fascinated by the interplay of color and texture, using them to craft captivating scenes that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with their inner selves. Each piece I create serves as a sanctuary, inviting you to explore the significance of the small in a world often overwhelmed by grandeur. Through my art, I aim to empower others, infusing each piece with an energy that transcends the visual, offering a lasting transformative experience. Join me on this journey of discovery, where even the tiniest details can reveal profound insights.
