Exhibition No. 3

Professionally, I am a textiles technologist with a speciality in dyeing and printing, but I have always had a passion for painting and felt connected to art. I started to take workshops to advance my painting in acrylic almost 17 years ago.

While I continued painting in acrylic I also joined watercolour art classes. Painting in watercolours appeals to my creative side and challenges my patience. Painting has become part of my soul, so much so that, when I close my eyes, I see swirling colours and dancing paint brushes which shape a beautiful world around me.

I took refuge in painting, when everything outside my family life seemed harsh and hopeless. Painting has renewed my belief in fun and frolic. My art is a connection with nature and my inner feelings. Each artwork tells a part of my story. Each paint stroke in my ‘Wave Series’ represents my mood of the moment. There is a tide of emotions in me, that at times, I can no longer hold in. In those moments, I grab my brush and let the thoughts flow onto my canvas.
