"I usually create a limited series of works a few times a year, each centered around its own theme. I start by thinking about what's been on my mind or catching my attention at that moment — something I saw that moved me, a memory, or a personal experience.

Once I have a theme, I choose the colors and make a rough sketch in Procreate. Then I put together the stretcher bars, stretch the canvas, apply gesso, and let it dry for a day before I start painting.

After it's dried for about 24 hours, I make sketches for brush strokes and embroidery. The embroidery is definitely the most time-consuming part. Once it's done, I add lines and details with oil pastels or pigment sticks.

Finally, I secure the embroidery on the back with glue so it won't come loose, let it dry, and spray the piece with a UV-resistant coating. Depending on the size, completing a series of four pieces usually takes around four to five months."

"I start the morning by preparing breakfast, and my husband takes our child to daycare. Once they leave, I reset the space — tidying the house, then taking time for yoga, strength training, or sometimes a walk before I begin working.

I live with ADHD, which means my mind can become very busy and intensely focused. When I am immersed in something, I sometimes forget to rest — or even to take basic breaks. In the past, I overloaded myself with work, and it affected my health. Creating space for myself allows me to protect both my health and the atmosphere of our home.

In the afternoons, I usually dedicate time to painting and embroidery. Working from home has its own challenges. Ideas often arrive late at night or just before sleep, and it can be difficult to separate life from work. When I am constantly thinking about painting or marketing, I lose the stillness that my creative process depends on. So I consciously practice pausing — allowing silence and space to return.

In the evenings, I try to let go of work completely. I cook dinner, set my phone aside, and focus on being present with my child and my husband."

"The central theme of my work is to offer healing, serenity, and a sense of tranquility. It may sound simple, but in today's world — where we are constantly surrounded by information, noise, and stimulation — finding moments of true calm can be surprisingly rare.

Art has been a source of healing in my own life, and I hope that my work can offer a similar experience to others. Even if it is just a small moment of stillness, I would be happy if someone could pause in front of my painting and feel a subtle sense of ease."

"One of the biggest challenges I face as an artist is constantly questioning myself: is my work truly enough, and am I really growing? But I've come to understand that I question myself because I always want to give 120% of who I am in that moment. I want each piece to hold the fullest expression of where I stand emotionally, physically, and creatively. That is why I keep asking myself to go deeper, to be more honest, to refine my skills. In a way, this questioning has become part of my process.

I also try not to measure the value of a painting by how quickly it sells. Sometimes the works I personally feel are perfect stay unsold for a while. I've learned to see that not as failure, but as timing and alignment. I believe each painting is simply waiting to meet the right collector."

"My style has always been rooted in abstract and mixed media, but around 2022, I encountered the works of many fiber artists and was deeply moved by the beauty and delicacy of the worlds they created with thread. Inspired by this, I began experimenting with ways to incorporate threads into my own work, which eventually led me to embroidery.

Over time, my style has become more simple, yet my core intention remains unchanged: to create a quiet, immersive space where people can pause, breathe, and feel a moment of calm. I trust the process itself — the time and care in every stroke and every stitch — knowing that each choice contributes to the stillness and balance that I hope my work can share with others."
