Each exercise represents a step in the painting process, leading to a finished painting to reflect each student's unique perspective.

ARTIST STATEMENT

 

"Nature is a profound source of healing and inspiration, offering a refuge for the soul amid daily chaos. The elements—water, trees, and sky—fuel my artistic exploration, revealing endless discoveries. I'm fascinated by how light and color create dynamic scenes, which I strive to capture on canvas. Through vibrant hues and expressive marks, I aim to distill fleeting moments. My goal is to share this journey with others who embrace creativity, fostering a community of inspiration and learning.”
