Artist Statement

My work portrays my real-life story I have included all the emotions I have felt in my life until now in a single painting These mixed emotions are emotions of sadness and happiness the happiness and sense of success I felt when I completed my education, positive emotions related to my marriage, grief that is associated with my mother’s death and the joy I felt when I gave birth to my two beautiful sons Even though these emotions may be personal, I feel the audience will be able to relate to them as these are emotions felt by everyone at some stage of their life.
