ARTIST STATEMENT
I painted Escape after stepping away from my studio, hoping to clear my mind. On a hazy day at the lake, the city appeared distant and softened, reduced to a quiet line between sand and sky. That stillness became my inspiration. The piece captures that moment of solitude and perspective, where escape turned into discovery. My work often grows from reflection and honesty, guided by emotion and chance. In this piece, simplicity becomes a kind of meditation, a balance between presence and pause.
