I started teaching myself to paint in 2020, as a way to rebirth from trauma and grief. This has since become my spiritual practice, positively influenced by my Babushka (also a self-taught painter) and the blending of cultural identities within my life. Recurring subjects include women and girls, nature, mental wellness/unwellness, divinity and despair, and icon-inspired kaleidoscopes of dreaming.
I hope you feel something when you look at them, on this brief stop during your day.
