Tonal Flow draws from the rhythms of sound and music, translating them into layers of rich cadmium green. The shifting tones create a subtle pulse, a gentle movement that carries a sense of calm and presence. Through layered color and texture, the piece reveals the passage of time and the quiet stories held within each mark, inviting reflection on the flow of experience.

Get to Know the Artist: 
Working in acrylic on canvas, I create varying viscosities using water to explore fluidity, texture, and gesture, building each piece through a slow, deliberate layering process that unfolds over days and weeks. This approach reveals traces of each decision made along the way, honoring the quiet rhythm of creation. A signature gold line flows through each work, acting as both a mark of continuity and a visual echo of movement—connecting emotion, memory, and form.
