"Tenderness" — A tribute to love, time, and place. This piece is a beautiful reflection of my honeymoon in France, where layers of paper from those moments weave into the fabric of the painting. Each piece holds a memory, a feeling, a quiet connection to the warmth of that experience. A reminder that love is both delicate and strong, like the layers we build over time.
