Journey of a Creative Soul

Creativity has always been a part of me, and I spent countless hours drawing as a child. One of my favourite subjects was Astro Boy, a character I loved to recreate, bringing immense joy to my young heart. In school, while I excelled in art, I often found myself pressured to create for other students. This left me with little time to complete my own work. I remember my art teacher once told me that I would have received a low grade for not finishing my artwork, but she saw my talent and generously gave me 75%. As an adult, I didn’t initially set out to become an artist, but I pursued other paths. However, one day, as a young mother living in Indonesia, I found myself searching for ways to support my family. That’s when I turned back to drawing and colouring, using coloured pencils. This marked the beginning of my journey as an artist. After moving to New Zealand in 1999, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that I started painting on canvas. In 2004, I held my first art exhibition, marking a significant milestone in my artistic journey.
Since then, I have exhibited on 4 continents and created art virtually in the world of Second Life®.
