Nature is my sanctuary, and trees have always been my greatest companions. Since college, I?ve spent hours beneath their branches, observing their unique forms and silently translating their presence onto canvas. Each tree tells a different story, like humans, no two are alike?each one carrying its own beauty, its own message. The structures of trees fascinate me, a reminder of the quiet strength and resilience in nature.

Acrylic and watercolors are my chosen mediums, allowing me the freedom to explore emotions and create a space where I feel safe to express what words cannot. There?s a serenity I find in these colors, a calmness that mirrors the peace I experience in nature, far removed from the chaos of city life.

Painting, for me, is an act of slowing down. It?s about connecting deeply to the moment and inviting others to do the same. I want to create a quiet space where people can pause, reflect, and rediscover themselves amidst the rush of life.

The journey began when I was a child, seeking to paint like my sister, only to be initially discouraged. But that rejection led to a rediscovery of my talent, and since then, painting has been my refuge both for the world to see and for my own soul to cherish.
