Stepping beyond the simple watercolor aesthetic that has defined my previous work, I am now embracing a broader range of forms, textures, and a looser, more expressive approach. Flowing colors and layered blues evoke the ocean’s movement, while intricate textures capture its depth and complexity.
A key inspiration in this new direction is the moon jar—its rounded, organic shape reflecting the vast, all-encompassing nature of the sea. Coral motifs weave through my pieces, celebrating marine life’s intricate beauty while serving as a poignant reminder of its fragility.
While whales have often been a focal point in my past works, my current explorations move beyond specific creatures to instead capture the essence of the ocean itself—the feeling of being immersed in its vast, mysterious world. The surfaces of these new pieces are intentionally rough yet delicate, mirroring the ocean’s dual nature: abundant with life yet increasingly vulnerable to human impact.
