“Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.” -- Picasso. To me, the art of silk painting is like poetry in motion. To see the colours seep across a blank piece of silk, take form and throb with a life of their own, is magic. Inspired by my teacher at the Dubai International Arts College in the Middle East, I took up silk painting as a hobby and a form of relaxation. My creations embody my spirit and the rich cultures I have absorbed from my travels around the world. I have worked with this exquisite art form ever since, though my full time job leaves very limited time to pursue my passion full time. I love to experiment with different mediums and have created a few pen and ink paintings along with the traditional silk forms. All paintings are on silk and originals and can be viewed in my gallery. For those who have graciously visited my site, I’d like to leave you with one thought . . . “Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not as easy as looking at it.” - Vincent Van Gogh
