Calling myself an artist comfortably for the first time...
With over 15 years of experience in art and design, I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunities and recognition I've received over the years. Awards, projects, and collaborations have been a rewarding part of my career, and I’ve always been confident in my role as a multimedia designer. Creating designs for clients, following project briefs, and crafting art that serves a purpose is something I love and excel at.
But when it comes to calling myself an artist, I’ve always felt a little nervous. There’s something different about stepping into that space, especially when there’s no client or brief to guide the work. My recent exhibition, My Life in Stitches, was an entirely different experience. It was pure art. There were no external expectations—no one to please or create for but myself. It was a raw, emotional process, where I took everything I was feeling and poured it into my art.
For the first time, I didn’t think about earning money or being liked by others. It was 100% personal, and that feeling was both liberating and healing. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to do this—to truly create something that came from within, with no constraints.
Now, after the exhibition, I feel a sense of pride in calling myself a fine artist. It’s a new chapter for me, and I’m excited to see where this journey will take me. It’s a step I never expected, but I’m ready to embrace it fully.
