As a little girl, I always loved creating.
I possessed a deep inner need to be imaginative and to express myself.

My earliest memory of painting is from when
I was only six years old. While other children ran and played during their
recess during our school day, I sat recreating the flowers and the trees with
my paints. From that point on I found myself drawing from nature and the
characters from beloved stories and making them into works of art. Throughout
my school years, I could always be found with a crayon or another instrument in
hand and excelling at my art courses. In doing so, I gained a reputation as the
cool art student who could amaze fellow students with my drawings. Nonetheless,
pursuing a career in art is often discouraged. As a top-graded student, I
thought the most prudent path forward was one in academics. So, I enrolled in
University to study civil engineering; however, I never stopped working to grow
my art and painting skills.

Within the first year of my collegiate
studies, I knew I wanted to take my artistic practice more seriously. I was
fortunate to discover that my University had an art center where I was able to
join painting classes and complemented these with my own studies in oil
painting during my free time. My practice continued to grow as I completed my
undergraduate degree and even as I went on to receive my Master’s degree in
Engineering. My work was featured in art exhibitions at my schools, I was able
to participate in art festivals, group exhibitions, and art events. I was even
awarded prizes, medals, and certificates for my artistic achievements.

When I began my job in the engineering
field and went on to be responsible for a busy family, my art took a backseat,
but I needed an outlet to express myself. After relocating to two different
countries and eventually settling in Canada, I found myself artistically
inspired and my beautiful works began to surface once again. I knew it was time
to forge my own path. In order to pursue my dream, I decided to commit myself
to my artistic career and become an engineer part-time. Since I made this
decision, I have had two solo exhibitions, participated in numerous art events
and festivals, and have been sharing and selling my work online.

Today, I have dedicated the majority of my
time to my artistic practice. I diligently work to continue developing my
unique style that pushes the boundaries of art. With each piece I create, I
continue my pursuit of bringing beauty into this world.
