I am particularly drawn to the work of Impressionist artists, finding that the Impressionist style offers a greater freedom to express emotional connection to a subject rather than adhering strictly to realistic representation. My passion for art began in childhood, nurtured by my mother who introduced me to various artistic forms including painting, pottery, and sculpture. Nature walks and creative exploration during my early years left a lasting impact, and my paintings are often inspired by the memories and experiences of my upbringing.
