Waby Liberia

“If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi”
—Andrew Juniper


Waby Liberia longs to create things of beauty on and off the canvas. As her name implies, she is fascinated by the beautifully broken.

By way of watery layers, textures, and torn edges—Waby yearns to convey strength in frailty and hope despite imperfection. Her works have been described as being “remarkably human…an unfiltered voice.”

“I treat my paintings like prayers, they are an overflow of my heart state, they are my frail and joyful whispers to the Lord.”
