Artist Statement: Made of Light and Wood explores the quiet intersection between nature, adornment, and interior presence. The figure, crowned with gathered branches and gold, becomes a study in contrast—earth and light, fragility and strength. Created in watercolor with accents of gold leaf, the work reflects on how we shape meaning and identity from the natural world and the symbols we layer onto it. It considers beauty as something both found and made, held between the organic and the radiant.
