Artist’s Statement

 "Leave Me Alone" and "Growing Ideas" are digital illustrations about aloneness and nurturing creative imagination. Aloneness is a characteristic that many creatives embrace and yearn for. Being alone is anything but lonely. Reading, writing, and creating art all demand a personal space where one can be alone in peaceful silence to think, to imagine. As a neurodivergent creative, aloneness is always a requirement for me. It is a prerequisite and a portable sanctuary that allows for growth. 

"Impressions of a Bazaar" is a painting that tries to capture the colour, movement and nostalgia of a particular place. The associations and feelings we attach to any place transform our overall experience. The impressions and memories we are left with are always tinged with more than what was really there.
