PERSONAL STATEMENT: Art is a huge part of my life and sense of self. I found it in the process of healing and self-discovery. I learnt that the creative path was the one I wanted to walk and live out. I've committed to it through my studies and actively creating whenever I can. I run a small creative business selling paintings and hosting workshops/events. After completing the Diploma of Visual Arts, I realised I wanted to dive deeper into my creative practice by tuning my skill set and continuing my studies. As I learn the business and entrepreneur side of the creative path.

‘LOSING MY MIND’

A visual representation of what I’d like to do to my brain when it gets too overwhelming in it.

The creative process of ‘my body MY RULES’

This a behind the scene of certain stages of this painting before finishing it off with a finish, not finish effect (which reflect the work that’s needed to dismantle the patriarchal systems & its influence in our human psyche).

PORTRAIT STUDIES

Some practises I’ve done this past few months around the human face.

COLLAGE ARTWORK

Collaging is a practise I do to keep my creative juice flowing and sustainable. A space to create for the sake of creating.
