Bonjour bonjour!
For a long time, I hesitated to call myself an artist. Now, I claim it fully, knowing that creativity isn’t limited to one form. It runs through everything I do - whether I am painting, leading, coaching, or speaking.
Each brushstroke is a conversation, a release, a declaration. My art invites people to see, feel, and respond - without overcomplicating the experience.
My art narrates a colourful story, inspired by my life experiences as a 40+ (yet looking 27!) Black French Caribbean woman living in London for the past 20 years.
I truly believe that art can come from difficult times and still be beautiful. This inspires me a lot.
I also loved watching TV shows like 'Saved by the Bell' and 'Family Matters' when I was young. Those memories make their way into my art, mixing with bright colours and cool designs.
Even though I started painting only five years ago, it has become really important to me. Painting helps me feel whole and positively manage my feelings every day.
Through my art, I want people to feel happy and think about deeper things at the same time. I hope my paintings take people on a journey, showing them different emotions and connecting us all together. My art is like a window into my soul, sharing stories and aiming to bring joy to everyone who sees it.
Enjoy!
