ABOUT
An explosive burst of color wildly whips across the archival paper in pastel and acrylic, seizing upon the zest and chaotic joy of the holiday spirit from my youth. This work reaches for the fleeting moments, the feelings I once knew so intimately but that have slipped through my fingers over time. It is both a celebration and a lament—a meditation on memory, energy, and the fragile line between euphoria and loss.
