To me, being an artist as both a printmaker and painter is a profound commitment to translating the world's beauty and complexity onto the canvas and linoleum. It's about more than just creating aesthetically pleasing images; it's about capturing the essence of existence itself. As I delicately carve linoleum or apply paint to a surface, I am engaging in a dialogue with the nature, interpreting its myriad stories and emotions through colour, texture, and form. It's a responsibility I hold dear—to distill the essence of life into tangible works of art that resonate with others, inviting them to pause, reflect, and find their own connections within the brushstrokes and carved lines.
