epiphany

This was formerly my "Watermelon Dragonfruit" piece, however I wanted to embolden and bring more interest through contrast on the piece and thereby went over the background in black. When my friends see this piece hanging, they are struck with a sense of brightness and celebration and I love that it can evoke these emotions!

This piece can be hung in different orientations - it is up to the buyer on which direction they wish the ribbons and clouds and confetti on the canvas to fall and flow.

Signed on the side.

Charissa is a self-taught artist whose artistic style never really "grew up". She maintained her childish style of drawing through scribbles and doodles in the margins of her notebooks into the corporate world after graduating.

Since becoming a mum in 2013, Charissa re-discovered intuitive mark marking through her observing her children in their play. She is fascinated with the freedom and boundless imagination kids naturally possess in the creation of their works. They inspire her to be free in expression, colour and movement in combination with her 'left-handed state of mind' and abstracted perspectives.

In turn, the themes of her works are centered around her children along with a dose of nostalgia from her own childhood. She wants to gift fun and spark joy through her art.

A maestro once said "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." and she is determined to resolve this.
