“I have paint daily, as I believe art has the power to heal. Creating art encourages me to express my personal and cultural identity. I have found that the act of creating and expressing provided me with a way to heal from the cognitive dissonance and the cultural disruption I experienced. The intention of this practice gives me a way to look deeper than the surface to see how we are all have layered and complex identities.

I often go on nature walks as it allows me to connect with the world around us and feel grounded. I often go for walks where I am near a body of water. I am intrigued by the element water as it serves as a reminder of constant change, resiliency, and its healing properties. Nature inspires me to create and calms my mind from my daily routine.”
