Methodology
My work is mostly produced on a personal level. It fuses naturalism with symbolic elements in order to challenge the familiar with the impossible. It gets a different response from each viewer bound to their own personal experience and perspective.
The Mandala Series
The Mandala Series' is an exploration of art as a therapeutic experiment in terms of
drawing mandalas as a form of my own therapy. Initially, I think I was yearning for
an expressive way to connect to a much deeper part of myself. It was a way to calm
my mind and to reduce my stress significantly. This particular process gave me a
sense of accomplishment which I felt to be meditative and introspective. Each of my
designs are created uniquely upon a personal level of experience hence the figures
portrayed as means of self portraits see Fig: (1 - 5).
However, upon first glance, it
may seem as though the figures are central to the overall concept of the artworks, but
with each individual piece I have created a distinct time frame into which my life
progressed.
Each of these artworks has its own unique pattern, but in some these are
repetitive to emphasize the destructive effects of untreated anxiety.

The Klecksography Series
The use of Jik and ink as medium is also significant. When these elements are
combined, an interaction of transparency and fluency signifies an idea of ‘openness’ and ‘exposed emotions’ which are quite easy to read. My use of the colours black and brown are important to their equivocal character. Black is linked to chaos, space, depth and graphic of all kinds, while the colour brown signifies creation and earth - considered to be a meaning of sturdiness, anchored and structured in terms of one’s own life.

The Surrealistic Series
In the 'Surrealistic Series', my main focus was on Surrealistic dimensions of which unconventional components are combined as with the irrational compositions and natural characteristics. Thus this enables the drive for a deeper symbolic meaning to the work. Her colour palette sets a mysterious mood and by manupilating the light upon the dark, she creates an aesthetic contrast.
The Decay Series
Central to my work in the 'Decay Series was my Anxiety, a personal journey from which the concept had emerged as
a therapeutic effect that drawing as an art form and a technique has on individuals
such as myself, who is trying to cope with anxiety. This exhibition enabled me to
create and progressed in order to find my own inner peace, whilst doing this I hope to
allow the viewer to experience some form of peace of their own when studying my
work. This might also encourage them to exploit different art forms to their own
benefit as part of their healing process.

The Neurological Diagnostic Series
Diagnostic tests and procedures are vital tools that help physicians confirm or rule out a neurological disorder or other medical condition. A century ago, the only way to make a defenite diagnosis for many neurological disorders was to perform an autopsy after someone has died. Today, new instruments and techniques allow scientists to assess the living brain and monitor nervous system activity as it occurs. Doctors now have powerful and accurate tools to better diagnose disease and to test how well a particular therapy may be working. Researchers and physicians use a variety of diagnostic imaging techniques and metabolic tests to detect, manage, and treat neurological disease. Many tests can be performed in a physician’s practice or at an outpatient facility, with little if any risk to the patient. Neurological examination assesses motor and sensory skills, hearing and speech, vision, coordination, and balance. It may also test the mental status, mood and behavior. The results of the examination and the patient’s history are used to determine a list of possibilities, known as the differential diagnosis, that help determine which additional diagnostic tests and procedures are needed.
