ARTIST STATEMENT | For this art exhibition titled “Trees and Beyond”, I will be presenting a series of nature inspired paintings. I found myself closer to nature while creating images of trees and other related subjects. Their variety of shapes and colours are inspirational and also in the way that they contribute to the healthy environment for every living organism on earth.
My artistic journey began with the learning of Chinese brush painting in 1994 as I looked for a new aspect of life related to my roots. I was inspired by this art form using unique brush strokes in its expression of nature. From there, I explored with other media such as encaustic, acrylic, and collage. By joining several artist groups have given me the opportunity and encouragement to create and participate in numerous venues, locally and overseas, such as Spain and China.
In my work, I strived to capture the light and colors of nature with a sense of peace and spontaneity.
