 Artist Statement:

“As an artist, I love to experiment and learn, and my goal is to constantly strive to both refine my skills and try out new techniques. I paint whatever piques my interest or inspires me on any given day, and my range of subjects is infinite. It may be a beautiful scene or interesting person I encountered, design, colors, or textures I want to explore, or simply getting into my studio, listening to music, and letting my emotions flow onto my canvas. As my husband likes to put it, walking into my studio is like getting a little glimpse into my mind. I’ve always been a person who finds and appreciates beauty in almost everything I see. I am compelled to transfer that perception of beauty into my artwork.”
