A little bit about me…

I am an abstract artist who discovered painting later in life, at a time when everything felt like it was shifting. As my children grew up and life became quieter, I found myself asking a question many women silently ask: Who am I now?

Art became my answer.

What began as curiosity turned into a deep, emotional outlet — a way to reconnect with myself, process change, and rediscover passion beyond motherhood. My work is intuitive and expressive, guided by feeling rather than rules. Each piece is created in the moment, led by colour, movement, and emotion rather than a fixed plan.

My paintings explore themes of transition, freedom, rediscovery, and hope. They are imperfect, layered, and honest — much like the lives of the women who are drawn to them. I don’t aim to create “perfect” art; I aim to create felt art.

Since starting my journey, I’ve been incredibly proud to see my work find homes with others who connect emotionally to it. Knowing that a painting can make someone feel seen, inspired, or less alone is what drives me to keep creating.

Through my art, I hope to inspire women — especially those navigating midlife, empty nest syndrome, or a personal reinvention — to believe that this chapter is not an ending, but a beginning. There is still creativity, love, excitement, and possibility waiting to be explored.

This is art created from lived experience — and an invitation to reconnect with your own.
