I’m beyond thrilled and grateful for the incredible support from my patrons, friends, and family at my first solo exhibit this February. During my artist talk, I was asked about a painting I intentionally chose not to explain, as I wanted everyone to experience it for themselves. The reflections I heard were beautiful, and I’d love to share them with you—maybe something will resonate with your own thoughts.

This alcohol ink piece, created in 2024, began as an abstract river. I stopped working on it when I saw shapes emerge, sparking debate among family and friends—some saw eyes, others peacocks. Initially, I almost didn't include it in the exhibit, feeling it wasn't finished, but over 15 viewers told me it was perfect as is. This painting embodies the message I aim to share: art should invite personal interpretation. Some saw peacocks, dolphins, whales, deer, eyes, mountains, and even angels rising! 

It's amazing how one artwork can bring forth so many different emotions and perspectives. I appreciate everyone's interest, views, opinions and the encouragement.
