STATEMENT
I believe art is about authenticity – expressing who you are, what you experience, the ways that you are growing, and how you allow others into that space. I utilise my creative energy in each of my ventures, either in structure, marketing strategy, user interface, or tools.
When I have time, painting, in particular, quiets my mind and reminds me that my identity is not prescribed. One day I am a neuroscientist, and perhaps by night on that same day, I am a painter, a consultant, a dancer, a developer, a director, lover, friend, or daughter. Like all of us, I strive to be better at expressing my authenticity and embracing these so-called “renaissance woman” moments in hopes to have a positive impact. I believe that the significance of coexisting with our many “selves”, is finding our capacity for curiosity and being okay with living and expressing it. This is where we find our genius.
My paintings experiment with textures, patterns, and rapid brush strokes, combined with fine detail. In all of my art, I express opposing and complimentary merging elements that form “moments”, identity, and snapshots of life – sometimes grounded in humour, and other times serious introspection. I think it is important to honour that space between humour and introspection. It is our superpower.
A small sample of my paintings and creative work can be found below.
