Softenting The Wild
With a sense of wonder and awe, I draw inspiration from nature’s quiet brilliance.
Influenced by the symbolism from different cultures, I create art not only to bring harmony and balance to my soul but to offer something tangible. Admittedly, it can be difficult to let go of these pieces. I hold on to my art until I'm ready to release it.
I am using primarily watercolor, acrylic inks, pen and ink, — rendered with a gentle hand as a way to caress what ought to remain wild and free.
My paintings have been described as enigmatic and ethereal, where the viewer feels a sense of calm.
All paintings can be made into print on paper or canvas by request.

" A Symbol of Preservation and Wealth: In Asian cultures, koi fish symbolize perseverance, resilience, and wealth flow. A Feng Shui expert suggested placing it above a fireplace will guard your creative energy. Two koi fish arranged in a circular Yin-Yang layout are perfect for general room harmony, balance, and relationships.
