I create art because it brings me joy. It helps me feel connected in an increasingly disconnected world. It all began in 2020 when I wanted to decorate our new home on a budget, but art quickly became much more than that. It became a way for me to effectively communicate my thoughts and emotions, as I made sense of what it meant to be newly diagnosed with ADHD as an adult of age 33. Art helps me understand how one can need change to thrive, but how it is also acceptable and necessary to be patient with oneself while navigating that necessary change. I love watercolours for their spontaneity. The contrasting elements and intricate ink lines in my work represent the chaos and need for control that coexist in our minds, especially as someone with ADHD who also struggles with the extreme awareness of being socially anxious. Change pulls me forward and helps me grow but change or newness also challenges me the most. My work is what helps me understand and thrive with this duality.With my work - I invite you to perceive life differently and with the goal of sparking joy and forging deeper connection with your surrounding.
