Painting is where I find my independence. Without the use of my hands, the brush in my mouth becomes an extension of myself, making me feel like I’m transcending my physical confines. My style is romantic-realistic, focusing on emotion and capturing intricate details that portray the beauty I discover in my surroundings. I enjoy painting my children and the experiences of motherhood with a physical challenge. With a palette of bold, saturated hues, my optimistic artworks reflect a positive outlook on life. I am drawn to figurative painting - people, gestures and expressions - because to me, a painting without human presence often feels incomplete. Through my paintings, I also challenge perceptions of disability, showing that life with a disability can be full, rich, and meaningful.
