The Beginning

My journey towards art restarted in 2020. I had been in the non profit world, raising funds for causes I was proud to support. But, something felt amiss.

I had been through a lot that I hadn’t yet processed - and so I started to draw again.

The cycle of being - one of my first exlorations with painting and acrylics.

At some point, I started to fantasise about a career in arts. I would joke around about it and long for the end of the day when I was done with meetings and I could just draw. I wrote down every random thought I had during the day and tried to visualise them.

Nascent as I was in my journey, I started putting my work out there on @unfoldingme and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Covid knocked me down enough that I quit my job in 2021 to focus on my recovery. While I could have returned to the social and development space, the hope for a career in the arts took a strong hold over me and I hoped that I could continue to make a difference through my art.

Over the years, my artistic expression has gone from deeply personal feelings and thoughts to things outside of myself that I am equally passionate about exploring. The journey continues, and I may bring the body back into focus.
