Roxanne selected my painting for the exhibition and led an invitation-only gallery talk about the works. Afterward, we spoke about the art of observation — painting from life and what it means to see without the filter of technology. It was a rare and affirming conversation that reminded me why I started my series, How We See: to hold space for the human act of looking in a fast-paced, digital world.
