The Moon reminds us that we are not meant to be constant.
We are meant to change. To flow. To begin again.
My Connection to the Moon
The Moon has always been a quiet source of inspiration in my art.
There is something deeply feminine in its presence...wild, soft, powerful, and ever-changing.It reflects the same energy I try to capture in my paintings.
