Artist Statement — New Nature Series

In my New Nature series, I use saturated color and biomorphic forms to explore the space between nature and abstraction, body and landscape. Each painting begins with transparent, hand-painted stains—fluid washes that suggest movement and latent form. I build the surface through pours, shaped color fields, and opaque passages that shift between flow and containment. As a woman, I’ve often felt the tension between interior experience and external expectation. These works give shape to that boundary—offering space for internal states to become visible.

I work from pencil sketches, drawings, and color studies, allowing compositions to evolve through a mix of structure and improvisation. The forms echo early modernist and feminist abstraction—part plant, part body—linking the natural world to lived experience. Layered color and spatial ambiguity evoke permeability and transformation.

While the vivid palette and bold contours nod to pop culture, the work turns inward. These shifting, bodily forms reflect on identity and perception, tracing the porous line between external landscape and inner state. In a time shaped by ecological uncertainty and blurred boundaries, the paintings offer a language for change, vulnerability, and resilience.
