“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”

—Pablo Picasso.

I was born an artist, and over the years, I have learned to remain one, despite the twists and turns of life. Growing up as a child, I was immensely inspired by many artists, and that became the impetus for nurturing and developing my potential as an artist.

I scribbled, painted, and experimented with any material I could lay my hands on to express my innermost dreams and desires. My favourite pastime was drawing eyes, and I would execute them with pens on tables, walls, covers of textbooks, pages of library books, etc. I found the anatomy of the human eye quite intriguing; I believed it was the connecting window to the colourful world.

Today, I am no longer drawing with pens on desks and other surfaces as I used to in my formative years. Instead, I have moved on to the use of acrylic paints with brushes and palette knives to express my dreams and desires on canvas and other supports.

However, I have not relented in working very hard to discover all there is to be discovered; I am still a work in progress. I believe what is in me will unfold as the years roll by, one at a time.

My inspiration to be the very best of me, and to keep going, comes from my husband and beautiful daughters.
