"Breathe" was originally created for the "Small Pieces of Watercolor" collection. I wanted to focus on the simplicity and meditative effects of watercolor painting. Many times we feel overwhelmed with the self-inflicted expectation of successful results and forget the joy of creating.

By utilizing small pieces of papers, I forced myself to shut down all the criticism in my head and focus on being in the moment without judgment. I was happily surprised to discover that many people enjoyed the gifts created from these small, simple pieces.
