My goal with my paintings is to recapture the viewers of the feelings as a child exploring new places and objects. As we grow older we become busier with our lives and not spending the time for ourselves. So I make my pieces with the intention of having the viewers to react and respond in a way a child would do. Size is very important; as a kid everything that is unfamiliar seems large but it shouldn’t feel scary but more of an excitement and happiness. So on each piece there are little details that have the viewers come closer to take a look, as a representation of the feeling of curiosity and excitement as a child.

I create my pieces with watercolor with soft blending to create a whimsical and cute feeling to my painting. I am highly influenced by the film My Neighbor Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki, as that film always reminds me to enjoy life and keep being curious and creative.
