I approach my art by exploring and expanding my skills to express our shared connection through empathy with each other, nature, and all life.

"Rosy Retreat" embodies the innocence and imaginative wonder of childhood, inviting viewers into a whimsical world where nature and nurture blend seamlessly. Through the intricate detailing of a young girl's braid transformed into a nurturing nest for a tiny hamster amidst the soft petals of a rose, this piece poetically captures the essence of serenity and the gentle embrace of care and love.
A hand-sculpted bust of a girl wearing denim overalls and a red-spotted shirt, with a rose in her hair that shelters a small hamster. The figure’s even gaze and slight smile give her a reflective, self-contained quality. Subtle texture and careful brushwork emphasize the realism of her clothing and the calmness of her pose.
