Short Bio

Inspiring women through empowering art and also by facilitating spaces where we blend creativity with self-reflection.

Statement

As an artist, I use portraiture to celebrate and empower women, transforming personal experiences of resilience into visual narratives. Through oil and acrylic paintings, I create portraits that challenge stereotypes and inspire self-love, weaving words of encouragement directly into my subjects’ hair. Each artwork is a powerful exploration of women’s inner strength, inviting viewers to recognize their own magnificent potential.

My creative practice extends beyond the canvas through workshops and painting events designed to support women in their personal growth journeys. By providing spaces for creativity and self-reflection, I aim to help women reconnect with themselves and build emotional resilience.

My art is a testament to the beauty of women’s stories - our struggles, our triumphs, and our endless capacity for transformation.
