Inner Bloom:
Beauty Radiates from Within
The series celebrates our shared bonds with the earth and with one another. A simple shift—moving from scattered to centered, embracing interconnectedness. A reminder that even in challenging times, beauty radiates from within, and everything is connected.
Inner Bloom is a collection of expressive, one-of-a-kind monoprints that capture the ephemeral beauty of connection and transformation. Each piece is an imprint of time, where past layers merge with new gestures, creating a fluid dialogue of color and texture. The process is both intentional and organic—an evolution of mark-making that mirrors nature’s cycles of growth and renewal. Vivid hues and luminous fluorescent inks bring an electric energy, while delicate details evoke the quiet poetry of fleeting moments. This collection is a meditation on interconnectedness, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape our world. Bold yet nuanced, Inner Bloom radiates movement, light, and the ever-shifting interplay of form, inviting the viewer into a space where past and present converge in color.
I love this process—it’s like magic and alchemy combined. I begin by cutting stencils, then use oil-based inks to paint them. The stencils are placed on a plexi sheet and then run through the press. Each time I reuse the stencils, I recoat them with ink, which bears impressions of the previous prints. This is why I’ve fallen in love with this process; it’s incredible to see remnants on the new print actually made up of our past—all those moments before. When setting up a new print, I rearrange the stencils, yet they still hold onto what came before. Each print is unique and can’t be replicated.
It’s the essence of life: we are made up of our relationships, our previous experiences, our lived moments. This practice showcases that. We don’t forgot our past. It builds our future. Everyday.
Inner Bloom portrays the beautiful coincidence of life's patterns aligning, where the individual and collective, the human and the natural, meet and merge. Through vibrant layers and intricate details, this artwork explores the profound connections that form the tapestry of our lives.
