Artworks

My artwork is not just art but a statement of life – mine and yours. Coloured by things that ruffle my thoughts and give rise to questions big and small. Our many rituals is what comes to mind first. Do we really need them? Very important and very necessary is how my grandma paints them. Pointless, is how my eyes saw them. That’s because you don’t perform them mindfully, countered a voice from within. So next time I visited the temple, I tried doing just that. Instead of simply going through the motions of this family tradition in my usual mindless fashion, I searched for some deeper meaning.

And found a connect.
No, not in the elaborate worship,
but in the elements involved in our worship......

Bonding me with the ritual in a way I’d never done before. I realised then why people needed rituals – to connect to themselves, and not just to god and their past and whatever else they believed in. My new found appreciation for rituals gave birth to mixed media tapestries in intense, vivid colours, resplendent with hyper realistic painted flowers, birds and animals.
