Shepherd - Xijia Lai's Art

Artist Statement

This watercolor series is a reflection of my spiritual journey and the changes I've recently experienced in life. Inspired by biblical scriptures and my visit to High Park in September, I've used landscapes to explore the connection between spiritual reflection and the beauty of nature. Each painting in the series has its own color palette, chosen to express different feelings of peace and guidance. The soft, flowing shapes and varied tones are meant to represent the unseen, yet ever-present, force that guides us through life’s challenges. Through these works, I hope to share a sense of calm and reassurance, blending the natural world with a touch of the divine.
