The Spark behind the Art

My art began with stories.

 
After my brain injury, storytelling and creating became a way to process what had happened, work through healing, and make sense of a world that had suddenly changed. Over time, those stories became art — and the art became something much bigger.


Today, inspiration can come from almost anywhere. Sometimes there’s a deeper story behind a piece. Sometimes I’m exploring resilience, healing, or helping people understand the invisible effects of brain injury.

And sometimes I just want to paint something colourful, make something fun, or see where an idea takes me.

That’s the beauty of creating. It doesn’t always need a reason.


Some pieces tell a story. Some start a conversation. Some simply make me smile.
 

And some do all three.
