Project Synopsis

My social content focus on healing through a slow art movement. The repetitive nature of my practice helps viewers to slow down in their days. Through this partnership with the City of Bellevue on Instagram, I want to bring communities together to enjoy a moment of serenity through a device that often triggers anxiety in us. My video content is a combination of elegant artwork in progress and classical music to bring a sense of calmness. Sometimes I create in the studio and others in nature. There will also be gentle daily reminders to breathe, relax and be in the present.
