Artist Statement
​My multidisciplinary work focuses on the emotional echo chambers I find myself looping back to, which I intricately explore in my watercolor paintings. The attributes of water become literal in my work, such as the reminiscence of the ocean in the blue shades, existing in this liminal, horizonless field I restrained myself to. Fragile and unpredictable is the application, and tender is each brushstroke to be taken. My Intention meets the uncontrollable flow of water, offering the viewer a realm where water mirrors the persistence of thought.
