Fall has always been my favorite season. I find myself taking longer walks and bike rides through city parks, sitting at the water’s edge as the sun begins to set, and watching its brilliant, almost metallic light shift across the water. I am drawn to the changing colors, the cooler air, and especially to the quieter details of the season: dried leaves circling in a gentle wind, fading plants bending toward the earth, and fragments of nature softly swooshing across the ground.

​

There is something beautiful to me about this gradual transformation. Nature does not simply disappear; it changes form. Leaves curl, colors deepen, surfaces weather, and what once seemed vibrant begins another stage of its life. I notice the textures, irregular shapes, scattered fragments, and unexpected combinations of color that appear everywhere during autumn.

​

These moments often stay with me when I return to my studio. The movement, layered surfaces, earthy fragments, flashes of color, and shifting autumn light naturally find their way into my work, becoming part of the visual language of my small mixed-media pieces.

​

My process begins with thick watercolor paper or textured recycled paper. I spread different inks across the surface, blending them with alcohol and water, then move and shape the color freely with a palette knife. I allow the work to dry naturally for about 24 hours before returning to it with delicate doodled forms, small linear details, and touches of gold.

​

I prefer working in small formats, where I feel most comfortable and connected to the surface. Each piece is created individually and allowed to develop in its own direction. Every artwork is one of a kind, with no reproductions, making each small piece an original and singular work.
