Shibumi is a Japanese aesthetic – a balance of simplicity and complexity – and encompasses tranquility, natural raw beauty, subtle elegance, and symbolic meaning.
I seek to create evocative contemporary artworks to cherish that reflect these values and bring a quiet ambience and tranquility to homes and workplaces.
