Signature Styles

My art is a response to mindfulness and a reflection of my truest and innermost self at the very moment I draw the enso. I am revealed in the expressiveness of my brushstroke. Each enso is one-of-a-kind, filled with authenticity and honesty. My practice explores several themes within the realm of Mindfulness. Each of my signature styles dives deeper into a specific concept.

The Kintsugi Enso

Deeply personal to me, The Kintsugi Enso is the breakthrough in my own healing journey following a traumatic incident on a cold winter night. It started as an out-of-body dissociation - the painting of a vase with a small crack appeared in my mind as a coping mechanism. As the incident unfolded, the cracks in this metaphorical image grew larger until the vase shattered. And then… nothing. Complete darkness. Art protected me, shielding my agony with cracked lines.

For years, I struggled to process the violence of that night, haunted by this cracked vase and its chaotic lines… until I discovered Kintsugi, the art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Broken pieces can be mended beautifully and tell a whole story. It brought me comfort and a calming hope.

Healing is a long, ongoing journey. You can embrace what you lived through and not let it define you. You fight battles and carry your scars as a reminder of your courage and fortitude. Your scars, just like the gold Kintsugi lines, are symbols of your strength and resilience. You survived and you are here.

Representing healing, The Kintsugi Enso emphasizes your ability to rise, always.

The Clarity Enso

The Clarity Enso signature style explores the concept of Wisdom and how it is cultivated through Mindfulness. It encourages you to look inward to seek refuge. Contemplating on the lessons you learned and unlearned, it is about coming home to yourself, connecting within profoundly to find stillness and inner peace.

The enso is symbolic of your journey in life. The expressive brushstroke represents your experience and the challenges you overcame. Gold graces the enso as epiphanies and moments of clarity in your life, gently filling in the gaps while preserving the authenticity of the original brushstroke.

The Clarity Enso is a mindful reflection of your journey that matured into pearls of wisdom to guide you in life.

The Gold Leaf Enso

Edgy and sophisticated, The Gold Leaf Enso is a little bit like the older sibling to the other two signature styles. It is about finding yourself through growth and commitment to your well-being and inner peace, practising gratitude and feeling empowered.

This style inspires joy and purpose. It encourages you to realize your dreams, follow your intuition, challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone. Ask yourself the difficult questions and get comfortable being uncomfortable. Make amends with yourself. Recognize your own strength and resilience, then be empowered by it.

The Gold Leaf Enso represents abundance from within. Growth, healing, inner peace and mindfulness are profoundly intertwined.
