MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Embarking on the journey of self-discovery as an artist has been a profound odyssey for me. For years, I concealed the artist within, tethered by the conventions instilled during my upbringing. The notion that talents should serve practical family needs restrained my creative spirit. Initially immersed in utilitarian crafts I crafted quilts and sculpted with natural fibers each giving recognition to my past work.
Yet, a longing for genuine artistic expression persisted. The challenge lay in relinquishing the security of traditional teachings. Weaving pine needles into vessels, found a bridge between heritage and a yearning for change. The turning point came in a college design class-a gateway to newfound freedom. Life drawing, printmaking and sculpture unfolded before me, broadening my artistic horizon.
Theย pivotal moment arrived at the Los Angeles County Museum, where I stood captivated by a Mark Rothkoย exhibit. Enormous canvases adorned with bold,ย serene palettes beckoned meย into the realm or Art. Itย prompted introspection-did I possess theย essence to tread thisย path? Could I uncover the unique artistic voice andย navigate theย labyrinth ofย self-expression?
The evolutionย unfoldedย gradually. Pastย experiences and teachings became the foundation for myย current artistic endeavors.ย Each stroke on canvas echoes the amalgamation of history and new found desires. The artistic voyage is dynamic, ever changing, mirroring the kaleidoscope of myย thoughts and aspirations. Withย everyย brushstroke. I am not merely creating art; I am finding myย way, shaping my narrative in the vast, boundless canvas of the art world.
