Art Therapy ‘24

Process is everything. Oil painting has become a medium that has taken me further, it is healing for me. I am lucky to also have had the experience of delving into a plethora of other media and understanding. This particular body of work touches upon my growth in painting along with my exploration of relief printing and sculpture. Throughout my experience at Tyler School of Art and Architecture, I have also had the opportunity to explore art making with glass and delve further into the ephemeral arts (not pictured). As a student of art therapy and as an artist, I look forward to a future career of cultivation, discovery and connection within our world. I am a firm believer of the fact that our art lives on, its purpose never fully finished, much like our own journeys of life. Physical matter is impermanent but impact is unmeasured, it is endless.
