As my paintings and art supplies began to overflow our small house, my family decided to move to a larger home with a spacious studio in 2018. Living near a public park, I found joy in walking its trails and soon began exploring other nearby parks. When the 2020 pandemic hit, visiting these parks provided a much-needed sense of peace and relief from the isolation. This deepened my desire to capture their natural beauty through painting. Each moment spent in nature leaves a lasting impression, creating cherished memories. Whether working from photographs or personal recollections, I carefully select elements that resonate with me, weaving them into artworks that hold deep personal significance.

My batik paintings are influenced by Asian art, particularly Korean oriental painting and Japanese woodblock prints, where landscapes and objects are simplified, and colors are vibrant yet flat. Nature is often stylized with repetitive patterns, a characteristic that viewers may also recognize in my watercolor batik paintings. Additionally, I often incorporate negative and pouring painting techniques from Western art. My goal is to offer a fresh perspective on beauty by depicting landscapes that blend Eastern and Western interpretations into a unified expression.

My current body of work focuses on capturing the essence of Texas landscapes, with their vibrant flora and fauna. I am intrigued by the variety of colors and geological features, from wildflower fields to vast canyons. I paint to highlight the beauty of these places and to share the joy found in our connection with nature.
