Selected Works in Selected Media
As an artist, I believe it is essential to keep practicing regularly—whether it’s exploring color, refining technique, or experimenting with different media—to maintain creative momentum. I often complete studies not only to improve my own skills but also to provide examples for my students. This continuous process of experimentation, investigation, and practice helps me stay inspired and grow as an artist, ensuring that my work remains dynamic and evolving.
