The Ocean and Me

I began painting in 2009, and ever since, art has been a way for me to explore and express my true self.

This collection is inspired by the ocean.

The ocean’s beauty lies in its imperfection—sometimes calm and serene, other times wild and untamed. As I painted this series, I learned to accept myself more fully. The parts of me I once tried to hide—my flaws, my struggles—are not just acceptable; they are essential. They make me who I am. In many ways, the ocean taught me that.

I hope that experiencing this collection offers you a quiet moment to reflect, and maybe even connect with your own true self.
