Artist’s Statement

In my teens, I dreamt of being an artist, fuelled by a multitude of emotions bursting to get out and often finding myself creating long into the night. Despite these ambitions, external pressures to get a normal job led me into the Nursing and Midwifery profession.

A back injury, subsequent surgeries, and a battle with depression forced me to confront the fact that I was living a life shaped by others. Choosing to step away from Midwifery in my early 30’s marked my return to the creative path I had abandoned long ago.

In 2015, I embarked on a new journey delving into graphic design and web design, starting my own design business in 2017. In 2022, I rekindled my artistic passion, finding my path back to my roots as an artist, actively participating in multiple painting workshops and artist groups.

I love to capture scenes and objects that provide relief from our overwhelming Western World and make us reflect on ourself, our beliefs and our understanding of this world. I tend to gravitate toward bright colours to hopefully bring joy into peoples lives.
