This is where creativity becomes ritual and self-care becomes art


This is one of my encaustic pieces
I am inspired by nature in all its forms. The natural world, its flora, fauna, and the intricate dance of human interaction within it, offering endless fascination. I believe that both our connection to nature and our relationships with one another are deeply worthy of an artist’s gaze.
My work explores the tension and harmony between perceived natural shapes and the interplay of positive and negative space, light and shadow. Colour, in my practice, is not bound by realism but liberated by emotion and intuition. I use it freely, with dramatic license, to express the spirit of creation rather than its literal form.
Collage elements often find their way into my work, allowing me to layer meaning, texture, and memory. These fragments—whether found, created, or repurposed—add depth and narrative, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the organic and the constructed.
To be constrained by convention is to be bound by dogma. Creativity, for me, is a pathway to personal truth—a way to communicate what cannot be said in words. Through art, I seek to offer a commentary on the world we inhabit, to reflect on identity, and to share my truth.
Art is a privilege. It is my way of seeing, feeling, and connecting.
Stillness is Sacred – honour the power of slowing down, creating space to listen to your quiet wisdom within
Creativity is Healing – journaling and mindful expression reconnects us to the parts of ourselves that have been waiting to be seen
This is not about striving or fixing, but about softening, remembering, and finding a new state of being
