My Secret Garden
Eastside Artists’ Gallery, June 7 – 29, 2025
Show Catalog
You are invited to “My Secret Garden,” a deeply personal and contemplative botanical world. Using a process I call echo printing, I work directly with plants to imprint their forms and essences onto paper through an organic dyeing process. These impressions—both literal and ephemeral—serve as the foundation for my layered compositions, which I then enhance with watercolor and ink.
Each piece is the result of an experimental dialogue between nature and chemistry, where light, color, and time play vital roles. The outcome is often unpredictable—mysterious, atmospheric, and rich with organic texture. For me, making art is an alchemical journey: part science, part serendipity. “My Secret Garden” is not just a reflection of the natural world, but a quiet meditation on transformation, impermanence, and the hidden beauty found in process.
