Art has always been part of my life, even when I didnāt realize it. As a child, my mum would gently hold my hand and take me to summer school, enrolling me in drawing and painting classes. I still remember the joy of winning a school art competition in 3rd gradeāthough I no longer have the painting, the feeling of being seen and encouraged has never left me.
Years later, after the devastating loss of my mother and the painful end of my career due to traumatic experiences and mental health struggles, I found myself turning back to paintingānot just as a creative outlet, but as a lifeline. Art became my way of healing, a space where I could process grief, reconnect with joy, and rediscover the little girl who once painted freely and fearlessly.
When I paint now, I feel as though Iām that child againāsafe, curious, and deeply loved. Itās as if my mum is right there with me, guiding my hand just like she used to. My work is a reflection of this journey: tender, emotional, and full of quiet strength. Through each brushstroke, I find a sense of peace and presenceāand I hope others feel that too when they connect with my art.
I developed a distinctive style characterised by my love for nature and my paintings often explore themes of freedom, tranquility, and the beauty of the natural world, capturing moments of peace and reflection. As an artist, my goal is to create pieces that not only beautify spaces but also inspire and evoke thought. My art is an invitation to step into my worldāone where imagination and nature intertwine.
