These select mixed media works emerged from a formative period of focused exploration and deep personal healing. Shaped by geographic transition, faith held tightly amid uncertainty, and a turn toward the canvas as a new vocabulary, the works unearth stories that could only be articulated through brushstrokes—balancing autonomy, nuance, and forward-looking resolve. Each canvas was developed as an independent study, approached with careful attention to its own material language, allowing narratives to surface through gesture, texture, and composition.
