Oil painting

From my artwork, I want the viewers to feel at home, which for me means being able to be oneself and being at ease. Feeling at home continues to be a definition I am learning and redefining as someone who has felt displaced in many places as a Third Culture Kid (TCK). The term TCK refers to children who grow up in a culture that’s different from one’s own or of their parents’ backgrounds. I can see many aspects of commonality in immigrant communities, as well as in those who move a lot, living a nomadic lifestyle. As I explore feelings of belonging, I want to create art that can bring viewers one step closer to connecting with our environments. In my search for home, I’ve grown closer to the natural landscapes of the Earth, and reshaping my relationship to the word as a connection to life on all living things.
