Artist Statement
My art is a journey of exploring how nature’s quiet beauty can connect with the emotions of the viewer. Blossoms—whether peonies, tulips, or wildflowers—are not just decorative subjects to me, but metaphors for life, resilience, and renewal. By blending Chinese brush-inspired fluidity with the textured depth of acrylic and watercolor techniques, I aim to capture fleeting moments of harmony between tradition and modernity. My hope is to create works that invite viewers to pause, breathe, and feel a sense of peace and connection.
