Artist Statement

In my New Nature series, I use bold colors and organic shapes to explore the space between body and landscape, perception and environment. Each piece starts with loose, hand-painted stains—fluid washes that suggest movement and potential forms. From there, I layer pours, color fields, and opaque shapes, letting the composition shift between control and improvisation.

I’m really interested in how internal feelings meet external reality—especially as a woman navigating the tension between what’s felt and what’s expected. These forms give shape to that tension, blending parts plant, part body—grounded in nature and personal experience. The work also touches on feminist and ecological ideas, showing that identity and environment are always changing.

There’s an ethical side to these works too—about ecological awareness and interconnectedness. By linking bodily forms with natural structures, I’m gesturing toward a view of nature that rejects binaries. Instead of separate or opposed, I see everything on a continuum. My abstraction isn’t about escaping the world but diving deeper into it—rethink how we relate to nature and each other, especially in a time of environmental crisis.

Even with their bold colors and lively energy, the work turns inward. It’s about what we carry inside and how that finds its shape. I see these paintings as reflections on fluidity, vulnerability, and how we’re both shaped by and shape the world around us.
