‘My art celebrates the restorative power of nature, and aims to bring its healing presence into your space. Studies show that viewing nature-inspired imagery can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and promote feelings of calm and well-being. When I create my paintings, I hope to evoke this tranquility that I feel in myself when imagining the serenity of oceans, and the vibrant energy of nature’s wonder. By incorporating these elements into your daily environment, you can cultivate a sense of peace and connection to the natural world, fostering both mental and physical wellness.’

‘This coastal haven has transformed my life, allowing me to unwind from my health challenges and get lost in the creative process, capturing the beauty and serenity of our surroundings with hopes of bringing pleasure to others through my art. ‘                                                                                                    -Alana
