This section isn’t about generic lifestyle tips — it’s about me. These are personal entries, shaped by my own experiences, struggles, and beliefs. They explore how the life I’ve lived feeds directly into my art. From confronting illness and feminism to questioning capitalism, love, and technology, each piece reflects the connections between who I am and what I create.
‘FEMINISM’: THAT WORD THAT CAUSES A STIR
Art has always played a significant role in my life, closely intertwined with my strong belief in feminism. My mother, an art teacher, used to regale me with stories of her involvement in spirited marches and rallies for women’s rights. One humorous memory stands out: she went braless proudly – a source of laughter for my sister and me in our childhood.

War & Sex
Profound challenges have marked my life from the very beginning. Abandoned by my birth mother at two and left without the support of my alcoholic father, growing up in the UK presented anything but an ordinary childhood. This situation instilled a complex mix of values that clashed with societal expectations, particularly regarding sex and family.

In a world teeming with creativity, our journey takes us on a quest to understand the fusion of technology and artistic expression. Along the way, we grapple with the enduring conflict between our personal and professional identities, a struggle that resonates with many of us.
Exploration of AI tools.
As an artist still on the journey to professionalism, I find AI a valuable tool, particularly in its ability to assist artists with time constraints. It’s a relief to think that AI can be used for more than just boring tasks, like keeping the streets clean and helping the environment. Instead, it can be a boon for the more interesting aspects of life, such as Art and Writing!
