I love adding lines to my paintings in this floral series because those lines feel like a part of me.
They remind me of the lines on my own face, marks that hold my stories, my joys, my pain, and everything I’ve lived through. Each line carries a moment, a lesson, a piece of my journey.
When I paint them, it feels like I’m honouring myself. I’m acknowledging the woman I’ve become, the growth I’ve earned, and the quiet strength I carry. The flowers may be soft and gentle, but the lines bring depth. They show the years, the wisdom, the resilience.
To me, these lines are not just marks on a canvas. They’re symbols of a life lived fully, of experiences that have shaped me and continue to shape me. They are my truth, woven into the petals and colours.
And in painting them, I’m not just creating art; I’m telling my story.
