...with art started when I was a child. But I wasn't brave enough to explore the path of a creative until a decade later, after working in corporate roles and forgetting I was any good at art at all. 

​

But I guess art and painting for me was like remembering how to ride a bike - you just need to get going. And nothing gets you going quite like feeling your soul's been laid out to wither and die. 

I desperately craved doing something creative.

In my search, I explored setting up a clothing line, tried out a little floristry, before coming full circle back to my childhood dream of being an artist. And it was only because my aunt asked me to create something for her out of the blue that I realised at all!

For me painting is like soul searching and each artwork is a reflection. I paint to explore and express and it gives me immense joy to bring something beautiful into the world that wasn’t there before. 

I seek for my work to illicit a memory or emotion and allow its viewer to dwell and remain in the moment. Sometimes it’s simplicity and balance, or a precious moment of peace. Sometimes it’s bravery and resilience. Sometimes it is freedom and escape. 

I am inspired by nature and people’s response to life - its mysteries, its challenges as well as its blessings. So too am I inspired by the colours and materials before me – how they transform through my movements and brush strokes.
