I am a floral abstract painter living and working in Toronto, Canada. Most of my work is created with acrylic paint on larger-scale canvases. My art reflects the similarities between the intrinsic beauty of humans and the natural world. Everything is interconnected; we must respect and care for our environment and society. Through my work, I seek to create a sense of unity and harmony between the different aspects of our lives.

My paintings explore the emotions and experiences that connect us all. I use vibrant colours and abstract forms to capture the complexity and depth of human emotions. Through my art, I aim to inspire viewers to reflect on their own experiences and connect with the world around them. My painting practice is also influenced by my belief that art should have a purpose beyond aesthetics. My art reflects the beauty of the floral world and its ability to endure adversity. By portraying the seemingly fragile flowers that return each year after winter, I aim to draw attention to the strength and resilience within us all. My work challenges societal expectations and norms, particularly those surrounding women and aging. I want to spark meaningful conversations about important issues and inspire positive change.

In summary, my art reflects my philosophy on life and our world. I aim to create beautiful and thought-provoking works that encourage self-reflection, contemplation, and positive action.
