My Journey

Reflecting back on my life, I want to share my journey with you all !!

I have always been a creative soul but life happened and I lost touch with my creative self, and the universe made sure that I finds me.

Few years ago, I had just finished my maternity break and was assigned a new role at work. I was barely getting through life, managing motherhood and a very difficult job.. when the pandemic hit us..

Living in an apartment with joint family, in laws, infant, toddler, managing a hectic global program at work and no house helps.. it hit me hard. While my family is supportive, I was not able to handle everything. I started having anxiety and panic attacks. These were feelings that I couldn’t put in words, and even when I tried to, I felt no one understood me!

I used to think mental health is a joke, until I was on borderline crisis.

And then one day YouTube suggested a video where the artist was painting, (May be it was a signal from the universe). I took some paints and created a painting of a couple walking under the stars at midnight, it was not great, but I liked it.

This started my journey into rediscovering my passion, and I started drawing more and more. Then came the turtle, the sparrows, swans, autumn and many more.. I started looking forward to weekends so that I would get time to create art!! My better half loved to click pictures of me with my art!!
I felt joy.. I was able to express things that I couldn’t explain anyone.. and here I am.. still creating something new even after so many years!! 

This has been my cure, if I ever feel stuck in life, when my emotions need to vent or when I feel the need to understand my inner universe, I pour it all on my canvas.

It helps me to be more mindful, feel the calm and it has significantly improved my right brain thinking at work !!

Through my journey, I want to inspire and motivate others who have buried their creative self, who are unable to express emotions or are struggling with mental health, anxiety or simply lack of purpose, to pick up your pencil, paints or any creative medium and join me as we express ourselves and find our voices.

May your creativity and expression always be alive !!
