My Story
Hey guys! I have something to share with you.
Some of you may know or may not know, but I have always been a creator- whether through pottery, dancing, film acting or art– any hands-on stuff, really.
I am ready to share with you my original hand-painted watercolour art pieces, transformed into digital postcards for birthdays, special occasions, wall art or if you just want to let somebody know how special they are.
Each artwork is set with specific intentions.
These colours are sure to bring you healing, peace, and strength through difficult times. These paintings are symbols for my hope, courage and perseverance.
Where i have been
& where i am now?
After finishing my studies and starting my career in acting, I had severe mental health issues which stopped me from doing anything.
At the same time COVID hit, which left me with just myself to look at and nothing else. In my eyes this meant I was a failure. Due to my toxic shame, I fell apart mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually- basically like a dark night of the soul you could say. Because who was I to fail if I was a perfectionist covering up my imperfect dysfunctional self and home environment. As from within and so without, so they say.
This forced me to look at myself and all my traumas I had been denying to work through. So I went off social media for two years because of this. In doing so, I was able to drop all of the masks I was holding onto.
I stopped looking through other peoples’ lives and the world’s expectations of me.
I began to let go layers and layers of my full self and continue to do so. The work will never be finished, I was told, and I’m proud to say I am okay with that. I am now ready to share my true self with you- on my terms and nobody else’s.
During lockdown I painted a lot. And recently, the day my aunt passed away, I went for a walk and I made a promise to myself and to her- wherever she is- that I wasn’t going to waste my life.
Celestial Tears was birthed from this place of grief.
