AVAILABLE - "Hearts of Resilience" - Mixed Media on Canvas 70x100 - 2024
This artwork weaves together the untold emotional journeys of immigrants who carry the love, struggles, and resilience from their homelands to new shores. In the painting, love serves as a transformative force—just as my grandmother’s love shaped my life, so too do immigrants’ memories and connections shape their new identities. Whether through a grandmother’s hands stitching stories of survival or a child’s first drawing of hope, each brushstroke represents the endurance and creative spirit that helps immigrants rise above the weight of displacement and the unknown.
This work focuses on the intimate moments that define the migrant experience: the strength that comes from within, nurtured by creativity, and the healing power of art that connects them to their roots while allowing them to build a new sense of belonging. Through this canvas, I aim to capture the resilience of hearts that continue to beat with the rhythm of the lands they left behind, transforming invisible struggles into vibrant expressions of hope.

AVAILABLE - "Art Shapes Love's Healing" - 2024
Mixed Media on Canvas-50x50cms
I’ve always believed that love can heal, and I’ve witnessed it firsthand through my work. When I lead workshops with disadvantaged children, I see how their emotions—both pain and joy—come alive on paper. I guide them, but really, it’s the love behind the art that heals. I create not just to express myself but to offer others a chance to heal too. Each piece I make is imbued with that belief—that art, born out of love, can reach places words can’t. It’s my way of sharing that love’s healing power with the world.
