Blooming Under Pressure

"Blooming Under Pressure" came from a time when I was feeling stressed. To work through it, I decided to experiment and push myself by using as many different mediums as possible—acrylics, spray paint, oil paint, collage and ink. I wanted to see how far I could go with my techniques and creativity.
As I worked, the painting started to reflect how I was feeling—under pressure but still trying to create something meaningful. The bold textures and bright flowers represent that tension but also the idea of growing and thriving despite the challenges. The process of creating this piece helped me work through my stress and brought me some clarity during a chaotic time.
