My practice reflects my life journey, delving into personal history and identity through intuitive drawings influenced by my mixed-race heritage. I explore folk art’s role in preserving tradition, experimenting with form, colour, and motifs to create immersive visual narratives. Drawing inspiration from cultural research and artists like Louise Despont and Agnes Martin, I embrace imperfection as integral to human experience, seeking unity and wholeness through recurring motifs like spheres, echoing Carl Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious.
