I grew up in a family that loved adventure and travel – instilling in me a wonder and appreciation for nature. These rich experiences have become the inspiration to explore the overarching theme “Nature’s Poetry” in which “Trees” became the focus for this first series. For me, trees have a relaxing and magical presence that evokes a sense of calm and peace. I also realized that they have been a recurring subject throughout my creative journey as I continue to be intrigued by these complex natural forms. The organic lines and shapes, the textures and colors of each tree – from the trunks and bark to the branches and leaves – create their own unique, natural, and “poetic” composition with perfect balance and unity.
