The HAPPY Series
The HAPPY Series is a collection of paintings that serve as a visual journal of my mental health. I started this body of work in 2016 just before starting my freshman year of college, and I have completed at least one painting in this collection every year since. This deeply personal collection serves as the foundation for my artistic practice as an example of the transparency and expressiveness I strive for.
This collection also acts as a springboard for artistic experimentation. Many of the motifs, techniques, and visual styles seen across my works in general can be traced back to this series as a whole or specific pieces.
