This acrylic painting on paper explores movement beneath the surface—where shapes blur, overlap, and quietly collide. Earthy greens and deep reds create a sense of tension and rhythm, while bold red forms act like visual signals, punctuating the composition and guiding the eye. Layers are built through intuitive mark-making, allowing moments of opacity and transparency to coexist. The work invites the viewer to slow down, look closer, and discover a balance between chaos and control—like nature communicating in its own coded language.

Framed and Ready to hang.

Built with acrylic and hand-carved stencils, this original piece layers saturated red against deep, shifting greens, creating a sense of heat pushing through restraint. The composition feels both concealed and exposed—organic forms emerging, then dissolving back into the surface.

Each layer carries the trace of the last, forming a dense, textured field where movement is suggested but never fixed. The red reads as both rupture and energy, disrupting the darker ground while also binding the composition together.

This work sits in the tension between control and release—where structure holds, but something underneath keeps pressing forward.

Joomchi collage

Sunset captures the feeling of an evening sky — layers of coral, gold, and violet merging into one radiant glow. Created through the ancient Korean papermaking practice of Joomchi, this piece blends tradition and texture into a modern, painterly surface that feels almost illuminated from within.

Perfect for adding warmth and character to any space, Sunset is a small work with big presence. It also makes a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift — ideal for the person who already “has everything” but still appreciates something truly unique.

This mixed-media work combines Joomchi (Korean hand-felted paper), handmade paper, and needle felting to explore growth shaped by care, repair, and time. Organic forms emerge from layers of green—stitched, felted, and built up through touch. Circular elements suggest seeds, cells, or memory points, while visible thread marks honor mending as a form of making. The piece feels both tender and resilient, inviting the viewer to consider what it means to nurture something into being—and what traces are left behind in the process.

This collage blends earthy textures and simplified forms to evoke the timeless ritual of nourishment and care. A stylized figure, part gatherer, part provider, strides across a textured landscape with offerings in hand. Created from layered handmade and dyed papers, the piece channels a primal elegance—equal parts ancient memory and modern abstraction.

Fragments of eco-dyed paper and original imagery are assembled through joomchi and hand stitching, creating a surface that feels both delicate and deliberate. Each puncture, thread, and embedded form acts as a record—evidence of touch, time, and transformation. The work holds tension between preservation and unraveling, where memory is not fixed but continually repaired, reworked, and re-seen.

Handmade Paper, Stitching, and Mixed Media

Paper Quilt brings together color, texture, and tradition in a modern, tactile form. Layers of handmade paper are stitched together by hand, their frayed edges and visible threads celebrating imperfection and craftsmanship. The vibrant patchwork of reds, pinks, and golds creates a rhythm reminiscent of textile quilts — but rendered entirely in paper.

Each section is sewn onto mount board and framed, transforming an ancient craft into contemporary art. Paper Quilt is both bold and intimate — a statement piece that invites viewers to look closely, feel the texture, and appreciate the artistry of handwork in a digital age.

Built from six gel plate pulls using hand-carved stencils, this piece moves like memory—layered, partial, and never quite still. Each impression holds a trace of the last, creating a surface where shapes echo, overlap, and soften into one another. The palette—cool greens and blues against a hazy pink ground—suggests both growth and erosion, like something emerging while something else fades.

The process resists precision. Edges blur, textures interrupt, and repetition becomes variation. What begins as a controlled print shifts into something more intuitive—an accumulation of gestures that refuse to fully resolve. The stenciled forms feel familiar yet unplaceable, like symbols half-remembered.

This work sits in that in-between space: structured but unruly, deliberate but open. It’s less about a single image and more about what happens when marks are allowed to build, break, and return—again and again.

Built through layered gel plate printing with hand-carved stencils, this original piece reveals forms that surface, overlap, and recede. Repetition creates rhythm, while subtle shifts in color and texture suggest growth unfolding without a fixed outcome.

Built from five gel plate pulls, this original work explores the tension between organic growth and imposed structure. Hand-carved forms shift and overlap in saturated greens, creating a surface that feels both botanical and constructed.

Layers hold the memory of each pull—spirals and fragments emerging, dissolving, and returning—suggesting growth that resists control and never fully settles.

Handworked joomchi paper, punctured and shaped through repetition, carries a surface that feels both bodily and resilient. Each raised form emerges like a record—small, persistent marks that refuse to disappear. Set against a deep field, the piece holds a quiet tension between vulnerability and strength, where softness becomes structure. What appears delicate is, in fact, enduring—evidence not of damage, but of survival.

This richly layered collage captures the golden hush of early evening as a fleet of vibrant sailboats drifts across shifting waters. Using textured and translucent papers, the composition glows with saturated warmth—sunset oranges, deep blues, and twilight purples—inviting the viewer into a serene moment between wind, water, and the end of day.

Created with layered gel plate prints and hand-carved stencils, this work unfolds like a visual language across a dense green field. Organic forms repeat and shift, suggesting growth and quiet cycles.

Sharp blue marks interrupt the surface like signals, adding tension between instinct and intention. Each layer holds a trace, building a composition that feels both natural and encoded.

Layered gel plate prints with hand-carved stencils create a field of shifting forms and marks. Organic shapes emerge and repeat, while sharper accents cut through like signals—suggesting growth, pattern, and a system just out of reach.
