As a self-taught artist, my art is a journey. What I paint is never decided by me but by my life experiences.

Every art I produce has a deep meaning that reminds me of where I started, where I have been and where I am going.

My art is inspired by the pains and joys of motherhood and living. My father's death opened a new chapter in my life as an artist because he had always been a great source of encouragement, and I found no better way of celebrating his life than through painting.

I work mainly with Oil and Acrylic media. Oil is a very forgiving medium, and it reminds me that forgiveness is essential in life.

Acrylic requires precision, speed and patience, the very qualities that embody my life as a medic.

My art strives to bring the beauty of love and nature away from the realm of 'Normal' and into the shared understanding of human experience.
