It feels frivolous to make art while people die...

As someone who once cared deeply in a nursing role, I understand the emotional toll of witnessing suffering and loss firsthand. Transitioning from direct caregiving to creating art that fosters healing has been both challenging and rewarding. I found that while I could no longer be a practicing nurse, my deep desire to nurture and provide comfort endured, leading me to channel these feelings into art. Art, especially peaceful and whimsical forms like 3D floral designs, has a unique ability to provide a sanctuary for the mind and heart. Whenever the world seems overwhelming and devastating news dominates our daily lives, I turn to my creative process as a form of self-care and emotional restoration. It's a gentle reminder to myself and others that even in times of pain and injustice, moments of beauty and respite can exist. For anyone feeling broken by the state of the world, I encourage you not to lose hope. Resting and nurturing your inner self through creative outlets or mindful practices can bring strength and healing. Whether it’s through making art, journaling, or simply allowing yourself to pause, these acts can help soothe weary spirits. The purpose of my artwork is to serve as a peaceful space where people can gather their strength and find a moment of calm amidst chaos.
