Artist Statement: This design depicts the serenity of watching raindrops fall, forming intricate ripples and reflections across a pond on a calm, rainy morning. The raindrops provide a parallel to the sound of piano keys being played, each droplet like a note, unfolding a soft composition across the water’s surface. It speaks to our connection to nature, where even small moments, like a single rain drop on a pond, carry rhythm and sound. Both water and music bring lush, vibrant life to this world. Each has the power to nourish, to calm, and to connect us more deeply to ourselves and our surroundings.
I am an emerging visual artist and community arts facilitator, working across painting, drawing, and animation. My work orbits themes of connection and gratitude, shaped in part by my experience with chronic illness and pain. I use vibrant colors and whimsy to create playful yet heartfelt work, aiming to gently tug at a human’s tearful, tender response to love and the beauty of the world around us. With a background in environmental and marine science, I consider myself an observer. My art practice grows from quiet observations of patterns in nature, in people, and in the shadows that cast themselves across my walks home. Through my work, I aim to exaggerate these subtle patterns, and invite the viewer to notice and imagine them alongside me.
