"Character Development" was created in 2023 on a 17" x 11" canvas panel using acrylic paint. This piece features a woman immersed in a book within an eerie setting. Books are among my favorite subjects to paint, as I often envision my artwork as the very "cover art" for my own emotions and experiences, should they ever unfold into a novel. Each stroke is a chapter, each color a feeling, crafting a visual narrative.
