My artistic practice evolved from commercial design training to fine art through a deeply personal journey of navigating chronic illness, motherhood transitions, and neurodivergent challenges. This path ultimately shifted me from seeking external approval to trusting intuitive abstraction as my authentic voice, shaped by the quiet revelations of midlife.

​

My commitment to being an artist crystallized over the past five years as my children became more independent, transforming early insecurity and seeking approval into curious thematic series work that helps me process emotions and explore personal growth.

​

My work functions as a visual journal, where abstract expressionistic mark-making becomes a form of somatic healing—transferring emotions from mind to canvas when words fall short. Through layering techniques and deliberately restricted colour palettes that support my focus needs, I explore themes of transition, acceptance, and the journey from external validation to authentic self-expression.

Each piece invites viewers into the visceral territory of personal transformation, creating space for both emotional recognition and curiosity about their own hidden experiences.
