Art has always been integral to who I am.

​

From my earliest memories, it has been a crucial outlet for self-expression and understanding the whirlwind of emotions within me. It served as a refuge, helping to soothe the confusion, alienation and anxiety I often felt, standing out as the odd one in many rooms.

​

My journey in the creative arts has been far from straightforward.

​

​I've always been drawn to the performing arts, dedicating many early years to acting, singing, modelling and theatre.

This passion eventually led me behind the camera, where I also found much joy (and still do) in collaborating with other creatives to create beautiful imagery.​ However, over the years, a desire for new challenges emerged, prompting me to explore different facets of my creativity that had been dormant or underdeveloped.

​

​Around 2020, painting began to shape my evolution.

​

Without realizing it, the practice quickly became a vital part of my identity, a tool for a deeper introspection than I had ever experienced.

It opened doors to my subconscious that I had not explored, made me laugh and cry (a lot), and revealed aspects of myself I hadn't seen before.

​We often hear that art saves lives, and in my case, it definitely rings true.
