The artwork seeks to evoke feelings of peace and a connection with nature, encouraging viewers to recognize the beauty in simplicity and the gentle intricacies of the woodland ecosystem.

Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? The use of acrylics and the chosen subject matter celebrate the subtle details of wildlife, drawing attention to the fragile yet resilient aspects of nature.
