I continuously explore different mediums but at the core, I am a painter. I feel most comfortable with watercolor because it can translate subtle shifts in energy in a visual way. I love the changes in intensity with just one drop of water or paint. The watercolor paintings include the motif of plants, flowers, vases, snakes and insects. The vases to me have long represented the body, and now the plant fractal patterns refer to the heart (usually placed at the core of the vase) and its extended vines and roots are like the veins and nervous system. Generally, my work has used symbols to create otherworldly environments while considering themes of existentialism and spirituality.
