Art has been part of my life since childhood, but over the years it has become much more than a creative outlet. It is how I express faith, wonder, and the stories I see woven into everyday life. I am most inspired by people—their faces, their hands, and the stories carried in those details. A hand can reveal surrender or strength, a face can hold both resilience and vulnerability. These small but powerful expressions draw me in, because they hint at something deeper: the sacred that is present in ordinary moments. The central themes in my work are faith, wonder, and the beauty found in the human story. I often return to the ideas of worship and surrender, using hands, faces, and layered textures as a visual language. Through these, I aim to explore what lies beyond the surface and point towards something greater than ourselves. My process usually begins with a sketch or a story that captures me. From there, I let the work unfold intuitively. I work across mixed media and digital art, building depth through layers of colour, light, and texture. Each layer adds dimension and complexity, echoing the way our lives and stories hold mystery and meaning. At its heart, my art is about storytelling. Each piece is an invitation to pause and reflect—to notice beauty, to sense the unseen, and perhaps to feel a quiet connection to something beyond understanding. While my practice is deeply personal, I hope it resonates universally, reminding others of the sacred threads running through their own lives.

My creative process involves both reflection, vision and intuition. I begin with sketches or ideas rooted in a story, then allow the work to unfold through layered textures and digital media. I often experiment with colour, light, and detail to create depth and complexity, aiming for each piece to feel alive and multilayered—much like the stories they hold. Ultimately, my work aims to tell stories that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and encounter beauty in new ways. While my art reflects my personal journey of faith and wonder, I hope it also resonates universally—reminding others of the sacred and meaningful threads in their own lives. Looking ahead, I am excited to keep exploring new mediums, expanding my practice, and uncovering even more stories through my art.
