This collection began with a master study of Van Gogh’s Giant Peacock Moth. I painted it during a hard season—when things felt uncertain, but I was praying for fruit and trying to stay present in the tension. That one painting opened something in me. I kept going—exploring bold color, texture, and beauty even in the midst of ache. It also sparked my deep dive into Cloissonism, with its rich outlines and flattened planes—a style that helped me hold both heaviness and hope in a new visual language.
