Artist Statement
My life's purpose is to inspire people to live their happiest lives. Through my art, I aim to evoke hope for brighter days and appreciation for life's best moments. I view my paintings, particularly my rotational symmetry collection, as portals or gateways guiding you into your happiest existence. I believe each composition is destined for a specific person, meant to unlock that portal. Why else would I be born with this unrelenting kaleidoscope of a mind?
My recent works spotlight rotational symmetry, showcasing my signature technique—a fusion of screen printing and watercolor. This approach enables me to capture the paper's texture, a lifelong fascination. I take delight in how my pigments settle into the paper's tooth, forming intricate layers, textures, and unique shades. I invite you to explore these depths and discover your path to joy through my art!
