I am a watercolor artist working at the intersection of nature, memory, and emotional landscape. My practice is rooted in sustainability and ecological awareness, choosing watercolor for its fluid, minimal-impact, and living quality. I work exclusively with high-quality, rich pigments on 300 gsm pure cotton watercolor paper, valuing the integrity and longevity of each material. I preserve the natural whiteness of the paper as an active source of light, using white pigment only sparingly to enhance highlights and atmosphere. Through layered transparency, stained-glass textures, and symbolic forms, I explore themes of resilience, inner fire, and transformation within fragile systems—both human and environmental. My work reflects a quiet tension between beauty and loss, decay and renewal. Each piece is created with intention: to honor material responsibility while opening space for reflection, stillness, and emotional connection.
