The composition feels off.
It starts to look… wrong.

Why You Still Feel “Weird” Around Money — Even When You’re Earning More Read More »
I recently attended an online webinar by Bob Proctor, and something shifted in me — not in a loud, dramatic way, but in a quiet, unsettling, deeply honest way.
Because what I realized is this:
I don’t lack ideas.
I don’t lack talent.
I don’t lack opportunities.
I lack alignment.
And once you see that, you can’t unsee it.
Why Asking for Money Feels So Hard for Artists Read More »
If you’ve been following my work for a while, you’ve mostly seen my hands — painting, layering, stitching, building pages.
But not so much my face or me talking about myself.
This conversation with Kate for the Making Zen retreat is one of those rare spaces where I sat down and shared my journey openly — not just what I do, but how I think, how I arrived here, and what truly shifted things for me.

What I Realised About My Art Practice After This Webinar Read More »
Over the last few months, I’ve been noticing something about myself.
My mind has a habit.
It goes straight to the problem.
Not slowly. Not occasionally.
Automatically.
Something doesn’t work → I start thinking why it’s not working.
What’s wrong.
What’s missing.
What I don’t have.
When I Stopped Looking at Problems (At Least in My Art) Read More »
For a long time, I thought my problem was simple:I was thinking low of myself. I could hear it in my thoughts.That quiet, constant undercurrent of inferiority. Even when I was doing good work… even when I was creating, showing up, building something — I still felt like I wasn’t enough. And slowly, I started seeing a

Do you save tiny scraps of paper, fabric, or lace because they felt too beautiful to throw away…
