The paintings from this year show growing confidence in storytelling, with whimsical characters, animals, and fantastical settings taking center stage. Her use of color becomes more layered and intentional, while backgrounds and compositions gain complexity. From playful scenes like a striped tiger in a lush forest to surreal underwater creatures and costumed figures, there’s a sense of narrative and experimentation emerging. This period reflects a vivid inner world beginning to take form through increasingly expressive and detailed visual language.
