Know more about the art
The visual art’s works focus on the common thread that runs through different cultures and religions, according to her website. It adds that similar myths, stories, and ideas are shared cultures all around the world, and her paintings explore this concept while also featuring creatures and symbolism that are part of her personal visual vocabulary.
Influenced nature, she uses “organic shapes and non-saturated colours”. Using a combination of watercolour and cut paper elements, her paintings use 17th century botanical prints and folk art to create a body of work that is visually linked to our collective pasts, the website notes.
