I paint to translate stories

Stories that are often overlooked, unheard, or held quietly beneath the surface.

My work is driven by a desire to offer context, understanding, and solace. Through colour, composition, and narrative, I explore themes of identity, belonging, resilience, and emotional truth. While many of my works are anchored in the lived experiences of women, my practice is not confined to a single subject or form. The stories I tell take many shapes, guided by the emotions, memories, and questions that surface during the process.

Even when a story carries grief or tension, I choose warmth, vibrancy, and boldness as a way of honouring resilience and my heritage. Every element within a piece, colour palette, gesture, material, and scale, is intentional and plays a role in shaping the narrative. When images alone are not enough, I turn to poetry, allowing words to complete the story and deepen its meaning.

I see art as a vessel: for change, for reflection, and for connection. My work exists to take up space, quietly or boldly, while holding space for others in return.
