THE GOLDEN SERIES
Inspired by Robert Frost's poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, this series reflects on the fleeting nature of beauty, innocence, and life's most precious moments. While nothing remains unchanged forever, each season leaves behind something that shapes who we become.
See Beyond the Surface
Every painting holds more than meets the eye.
Hidden within each piece are a young fisherman and a girl releasing a heart-shaped balloon, inviting you to slow down, look closer, and discover the stories woven beneath the surface.
The hair is never just hair. It is part of the story, carefully crafted to reflect identity, expression, and the unique journey within each painting.
