​

My focus is on creating art that reflects the influence of tradition, identity, and emotion on the female form. My work examines my own cultural heritage and childhood experiences, and how they have shaped my sense of self and belonging. Common themes in my art include femininity, loneliness, and vulnerability, as I strive to capture figures in private, introspective moments. My art often showcases emotional memories and states, incorporating elements of pattern repetition and strong colour use. Through my art, I seek to explore the complexities of the female experience and delve into the intersection of identity, culture, and emotion.
