From the space between Worlds

Beautifully Misaligned

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year. The world feels uncertain, but I want us to remember to focus on what we can control. Find space for positivity, even with disruptive noise around us.

I have learned to stay connected and clear away noise so my mind can breathe, focusing only on what I can control. This clarity helps me paint human emotion, even when beauty is elusive.

My work speaks to love and loss, exploring the human psyche’s response to life and a family of emotions. It reveals how disconnection affects our minds, bodies, and relationships.

In disruptive times, with growing noise, maintaining clarity allows me to find beauty and perspective. I focus on being true to myself, recognizing my challenges, and using my art to stay grounded in love and hope. Art becomes both a refuge from chaos and a way to share courage.

I share my art not just for its creative and technical qualities. It also represents experiences many have but seldom discuss. Although told to be silent for most of my life, I found strength in expressing myself—if not with words, then through my art. My art is my voice and my way of creating space for honesty, for myself and others.

I have seen so much in my lifetime—violence, near-death, mental unwellness, and more. But that does not give others the right to judge without compassion or kindness. We are all human; we think, speak, and feel.

We stop being human when the door is closed, and someone is chained to another just for power or control. No one should suspend another’s voice or choices.

What fuels emotion in one may not in another. We are all different, and that is special. There is no need to be someone else. We each have a unique aura. We believe in what we bring; our rawness connects us and gives us a fresh take on life.

I share fragments of my writing and art as I grow, capturing memories, pain, and love in real time. I owe myself honesty—to honour my soul and my experiences, and to share with those who appreciate authenticity. Despite life’s disappointments, being true to myself and finding support from others matter most.

Most don’t know I speak through my canvas. It’s not just a painting but a conversation with yourself—reflecting how you feel and love through pain and loss, and how you communicate what matters despite noise. I bring vision to life with paint and words; for me, this is easier than conversation. Being beautifully misaligned rarely fits into a single circle, but finding like-minded people creates an astounding shift in emotional well-being.

As I share my stories, I notice my work resonates deeply with some, creating connections and prompting reflection. Art is personal. Its messages of love and loss touch people in different ways. If my work doesn’t move you, consider what you seek here. Maybe it’s not only the art itself, but also the raw, universal message behind it.

As I continue this journey, I believe this year will open more doors for me. This time, I am the one opening them. I applied for a solo show and was chosen for February, but something inside me shifted. I didn’t feel what I expected. I felt sad because the joy and excitement weren’t there. It was a disappointment to my soul. So again, I opened another door and crossed the veil in search of my purpose.

I’m sharing this because I am making choices for my own fulfillment and creative integrity. Many opportunities have strings attached, and pay-to-play has left me wary. I need to create for myself, not to meet others’ expectations. True support honors my genuine work, rather than superficial validation.

This confirms that public praise and validation are not what I need. I seek connection. I want purpose, kindness, and the unity art brings. My paintings give me all that and more.

As I open doors and share my journey, I hope my art and writing move you and inspire support for the right reasons. Your encouragement pushes me to do better. Sharing support for the artist means celebrating inspiration—even in small ways—and together we bring beauty and perspective to a noisy world.
