As a visual artist, my journey has been heavily shaped by the revelation of the human body and its sacredness. Working with graphite and Prismacolor pencils in my art, I try to capture the nude form, honoring its creation according to God’s image as the greatest artist. Each line and shadow in such figural works is not so much a detail of the body form as an expression of reverence for the sanctity of the human form.

Meanwhile, I find refuge in the free expressiveness of abstract art, using traditional materials such as egg tempera and Sumi-e ink. These materials allow me to engage in a more introspective process of creating, with each layer a ballet of letting go and holding back.

This tension in my work—between the precise detail of the human form and the expressive freedom of abstract painting—creates a unique art language that can discuss the many facets of our lives, both physical and metaphysical.
