Three by Three: Guest Artists in Focus

QUESTION 2. If someone misunderstood your work completely what might they assume about you?

• ANSWER 2. They might think I’m just copying a photograph. But the truth is, I only paint when I feel genuinely happy and full of good energy. Every brushstroke carries that feeling. I smile as I paint, and that energy flows into the artwork. It’s never just decoration; it’s meant to bring a kind of blessing or lightness into the space. I try to capture the spirit of a moment, not just its image.

Watercolor Artist

BIO: ⁠I am a hyperrealistic watercolor artist whose work captures emotion, light, and energy with delicate precision. My paintings often begin from photographs, but the goal isn’t just to replicate but to bring the image to life with feeling. Every piece is painted with positive energy and intention, created only when I feel calm and inspired. My process is both meditative and expressive, turning moments of stillness into art that radiates joy and serenity. I transform ordinary subjects into soulful, uplifting experiences.

QUESTION 3. What’s a small, ordinary thing you secretly consider sacred?

• ANSWER 3. The moment before starting a painting that mix of excitement and doubt. I always wonder, how do I do this? Do I have what it takes to finish it? There are so many what ifs. But the instant my brush touches the paper, all those worries disappear.

QUESTION 1. What’s a creative decision you made recently that scared you a little?

• ANSWER 1.  I started using a much bigger brush. It sounds small, but it completely changed how I paint as I couldn’t control every detail anymore. It forced me to move with instinct instead of perfection, to let the strokes flow freely and accept accidents as part of the art. It was scary at first, but it made my paintings feel more alive and expressive.
