I started painting during lockdown, mostly to fill the time. I didn’t expect it to stick, but it quickly became something I genuinely enjoyed. What began as a way to stay busy turned into a creative outlet that helped me slow down and focus.

Painting gave me space to think. I liked how simple it felt: just colours, shapes, and a blank canvas. Over time, it became less about making something perfect and more about enjoying the process itself.

After a lot of trial and error (and quite a few messy canvases), I started to see real progress. Each piece taught me something new, and I found myself looking forward to painting more and more.

Now I share my work to connect with others who see something in it. Whether that’s calm, curiosity, or just a moment to pause. My art isn’t about perfection; it’s about expression and the small stories that come through colour and texture.
