Artistas Juntos Salon Series

Art Exhibition: Stray Birds
My work expresses a love for nature and the creatures that inhabit it. Birds, in particular, appear repeatedly, as seen in my recent bodies of work Mist of Khaos and Absence. During my time in Ajijic, I’ve continued this exploration, working with graphite, watercolor, acrylics, and ink —moving between drawings, paintings, and prints—to evoke both the presence and fleeting nature of these creatures and their environments.
