About this artwork

“I Might Have Life” is a captivating and alluring abstract painting that skillfully blends vibrant reds, blues, soft to dark shades of blue, bright yellows, and touches of pinks and dioxide purple.
This mesmerizing painting showcases an interplay of swirling, organic brush strokes that seem to emerge from the depths of the artist’s psyche, symbolizing the continuous flow of thoughts and beliefs that shape their reality. It represents the anticipation… of change and exudes an exciting energy that draws observers into its enigmatic realm.
The dynamic composition of colours and forms echoes the paradoxical nature of life itself, evoking a sense of movement and emotion.

The artist used her own life as a reference, having come out of a 7-year drought period. During the time of emotional turmoil and stress, there was no time to focus on self. This painting is a testament to the power of art to heal and transform.

« My aim is to make art that not only tells my story but all our stories. To speak to the abused, the down-trodden, the hopeless, the lost, the lonely, the shamed, the orphan, the abandoned. »

When I pierce the painting with a needle, the resistance, the wound, the scar of thread feel truer than paint alone. Stitching transforms the surface—binding fragments, creating networks of colour, repair made visible. Paint speaks in washes and layers; thread speaks in line, dimension, and labour. Inspired by neuroplasticity, this process mirrors the brain’s rewiring after trauma: repetition forms new pathways, honouring both wound and healing. The thread doesn’t erase—it creates alternate routes, tangible evidence of repair and connection.
