My Virtual Gallery - A Showcase of Art and Reflections
Welcome to my happy place.
I started my journey in 2024 , when I first starting to doodle with my children's colour pencils in a little free note book. Then i found watercolour and have never looked back since. There is a creative part of me has never been allowed the space and time to flourish, but I am glad to say that it is different now. I find joy in sharing how I see the world, and this virtual gallery is a canvas where my expressions come to life. I learnt how to paint from online courses, where artists generously share their skills, and these include Emily Olson, Lois & Morgaine Davidson Art, Sarah Cray and many more.
Painting helps me to reflect and slow down in this face paced life. I like the freedom of choosing colours, and the satisfaction that comes with completing a piece. Watercolours are fluid and unpredictable, unstructured and whimsical, and that is what i love most about it in a world bound by rules.It has inspired me to look around with a lens of wonder, find my voice, and live with gratitude. I hope my artwork can do the same for you.
