My art portfolio, rooted in nature and observation, captures moments of beauty and resilience. Using varied mediums—tufting, soft pastels, watercolors, acrylic. etc—and unique materials like LED lights, shell pieces, and cardboard, I reveal human experience through beauty, adversity, and spirit. Each piece reminds me to create a life portfolio of the beautiful scenes I encounter across different ages, places, daily life, and special occasions.
