Lately, I’ve felt a shift in my studio. It’s subtle, but steady — like the feeling of soil warming just before something new pushes through. This season of my art feels like both a return and an emergence, a rooting down and a rising up at the same time.
For a while, I found myself tangled in outside noise. Opinions, expectations, and a few uncomfortable interactions nudged me off-center. Instead of giving those moments more attention, I realized what I needed was to turn back inward. My work has always come from an honest place, and this season is no different. If anything, it’s calling me to be even more intentional.
I’ve been reconnecting with the textures and themes that have always grounded me — natural lines, soft transitions, quiet forms that mirror emotional landscapes. My colors have shifted too. They feel earthier, warmer, more patient. There’s a sense of shedding old narratives and letting the work speak for itself again.
“Root & Bloom” is the phrase that keeps circling my mind. It reflects where I am creatively: digging deeper into what feels true and letting the growth happen without rushing it. It’s the hum of small beginnings and the hint of something opening, slowly and quietly.
Some pieces in the studio feel like early sprouts, others like branches stretching into new directions. I’m exploring textures that carry both movement and stillness. I’m letting intuition lead more than structure. And I’m allowing myself to follow what feels nourishing, rather than what feels expected.
This season is less about performance and more about presence. Less about proving and more about becoming. I don’t know exactly where this phase will lead, but I can feel the shape of it forming — steady, grounded, and full of possibility.
For now, I’m choosing to root. The blooming will follow in its own time.
