I have loved the fact that if I nurture and tend to a flower in my garden, it will always bloom. Creating and capturing beauty through paper has always been a fascination of mine. Paper itself is a flat and lifeless object, but as soon as you give it some care and you use your hands to make shape and sculpt it, you can bring it to life. With my artworks, I join the gardener and the artist in me together, and I make paper bloom. My art process is never planned, just like nature. Every work of mine is slightly different just the way real flowers are.
