What inspires the artist?

“I use my artwork and interior design to strengthen and nurture the emotional bond I feel with nature and inspire others to do the same.”

“When art is done well, the artist can give the viewer a glimpse into seeing the world that way…”

“My pieces were intricately and laboriously stitched over many weeks, a process of making that embodies the labor (emotional, spiritual, psychological and physical) inherent to experiences of grief, depression, healing, and growth.”

“An abandoned garden transforming from dead to alive coincides with the journey of the characters from sad to happy.”

“When I painted Awakening I was listening to Vilvaldi’s Four Seasons and looking out of my window in winter. I originally painted in black and white. Then the spring came and did a number on me and I added plants growing and color. The deadness is still there, but it's subdued by new growth.”

“Much like a garden, humans need tending. However, there are many seasons of neglect. To me, The Secret Garden is about repentance, healing, and love. We are never too far gone, we can always change, we can always grow, and there is always hope.”

"I want people to know that it’s not just a blooming garden, it has an aura of magic. The garden has brought serenity into each of the characters' hearts because so much love, and so much work, was put into it."

“Life always blooms again into that familiar garden that cradles you and makes you feel like the empowered woman you’ve always been.”

"I always experience painting as an act of transformation, it's not only happening on canvas but in my life simoultaneously, making me a better person every day."

"What I love about making art is the escape to a magic inner world, a place where I can explore my thoughts and feelings, and process my emotions."

"As a child, after having read The Secret Garden, I, an Indian child with brown skin and coal black hair had envisioined a world with me in Mary's shoes and wondered what it would be like if my eyes were blue and I had porcelain, fair skin. But this project made me realize that I could be myself to create a new narrative that could help another child believe they could be a part of the story without losing their identity."

“Making my art feels like freedom. And I think my biggest awareness in my life has been not everyone has that freedom. And I don't know what I would do If I couldn't go to my art.”
