2023 Achievement
In the past year, I unearthed a profound sense of joy in my artistic endeavors, marking a notable achievement in my journey. Having navigated a career in graphic arts that often left me uninspired, I yearned for a missing ingredient – passion. Despite dabbling in various mediums like Macro Photography, teaching, and digital illustration, I felt an emptiness until a childhood friend expressed a desire to buy an original piece. Faced with the challenge of working digitally with no tangible originals, I delved into uncharted territory – watercolors. It was a medium that I had never tried before.Drawing inspiration from my mother’s experience, as an award-winning watercolorist, I embarked on a journey to master this challenging new medium. Learning from a seasoned watercolor painter in my hometown, I faced initial struggles, contemplating quitting more than once. However, with perseverance, I honed my skills, transitioning from traditional subjects to vibrant ,alive abstracts. Suddenly, starting like a flickering light, the passion and joy in painting, absent for years was rekindled.
2024 Goals
Looking ahead to 2024, my aspiration is to continue exploring and enjoying my work, unburdened by the pressure to please others. Empowered by newfound courage, I embrace experimentation and failure as part of the creative process, prioritizing personal satisfaction above all else. I am a deep water fish enthusiast. I and working on a new series to incorporate biomechanical and biofluorescence characteristics into the sea creature who inhabit the greater depths of the unknown sea.
