Artist Statement
My art is a visual journal of my feelings and insights that transcend language. Each piece is a memoir that reflects an emotional journey, spiritual culture and history, told through the delicate mediums of watercolour, graphite, natural pigments, and gold. These materials ground my work in authenticity, while the use of gold symbolizes the divine presence woven into the fabric of each story. Art is my way of journaling and expressing my understanding of the divine.
