My work is a visual expression of the emotional experience that I observe in small moments, which I refer to as sweet musings. My art reflects the magic in noticing these moments and the hidden nuances that they convey. Whether it be the pattern on a leaf, the way light can transform a mountain or a quiet ripple in a pond, I like to explore the journey of self-knowing that is partnered with such small yet sweet moments.
