About the Artist
By stripping down shapes, forms, and colors to their essence, Little captures raw emotion and invites viewers to question how far abstraction can be pushed while still retaining self-recognition. Emphasizing the creation of idealized versions of ourselves, the artist's pieces are imbued with hope and a sense of control amidst chaos. These works incorporate dream-like reflective elements that transport viewers into a realm of introspection and wonder.
"I’m crafting a sanctuary where these characters—and by extension, myself—can exist freely, unbound by constraints of our world."

artist statement
With this new body of work, my search for joy and vitality is stronger than ever. I've shifted from borrowing stories to creating my own. I am inventing my own characters and exploring artificial realism. When I am painting, I feel a connection to the characters I’m creating. They share their stories of strength, vulnerability, and resilience with me as I bring them to life. It's amazing to see how they draw on their inner strength and maintain their integrity while reflecting their surroundings. They inspire me with their confidence and grace as they shape their own narratives. Through the creative process, I realize that I’m not just creating art; I’m crafting a sanctuary where these characters—and by extension, myself—can exist freely, unbound by the constraints of our world.
