Artist Statement:
Art creates a safe space for me to heal. The brushstrokes and the smells of the oils allow me to meditate, observe, and let thoughts pass through without judgment. The process of creating the art itself becomes more enjoyable than the outcome. In this exhibition, I reveal a few of my newest pieces from a new series titled 'The Evolution of Natt,' which deals with healing past trauma through painting family photos. Alongside these, I showcase some of my past favorites, such as 'The Wizard of Woo' and 'Grace Jones in Emerald City,' created between late 2021 and 2023.
