Kaizen Print

ARTIST STATEMENT As a wood block printmaker, I use the medium to draw with light and shadow. The organic grain of wood serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and the uniqueness of each piece. Plants symbolize growth and resilience, reflecting my own personal journey. Through a labor-intensive process, I create art that conveys the fragility and strength of life. My hope is that my work encourages viewers to reflect on their relationship with the natural world and find comfort, inspiration, and growth.
