Why PLAY isn't just a phase - it's the essence of art making
Creativity isn’t about getting everything perfect - it’s about playing, exploring, and seeing where the process takes you. For years, I thought play was just the messy beginning of art-making, something to grow out of once I got “serious.” But the more I create, the more I realize that play is the heart of creativity. When we let go of perfection and embrace curiosity, that’s when the real magic happens.
Warm Embrace colour palette
I have been on a colour exploration, trying to make a colour palette to match the energy of the changing season.
I called it Warm Embrace.
Like the sweet autumn sun, gently whispering now, changing from the loud summer energy, but not yet completely gone.

Colour Stories. Indigo.
Most colours need a companion, or more. Indigo is a lone wolf. Just like me in a way. It's the only colour I found that works incredibly well on its own. The colour range it creates is just incredible.

my 100 days project: what worked, what didn't, and everything in between
One of the biggest lessons was letting go of perfectionism. Not every piece turned out great—some were downright bad! But instead of discarding them, I embraced the process. I posted everything, good and bad, and found pride in my entire body of work.
Beyond improving my technique, this project helped me find my artistic voice. It wasn’t about posting on social media or selling my work—it was about creating freely, learning from mistakes, and allowing my soul to speak through art.
