Through sketching, I have learned to appreciate the beauty
of the present and understand that there is magnificence in the mundane day-to-day present. Watercolors have helped me ground myself during the most challenging times of my life as they made me focus on the present day rather than hyperfixating on the problems I had been going through at the time. My sketchbooks have documented my life throughout many significant events, and just like I have matured over these years, my sketches have matured alongside me. I invite the viewer to experience this intimate part of my life.
