EMET’S BOX now available!

 
A colourful story about following your heart ❤️
 

Emet loves to paint but grown-ups think he should spend his time doing more important things. When Emet stops doing what he loves, colour disappears from his world. What does Emet discover within himself in order to bring colour back into his life? Follow Emet through his journey towards self-discovery.

 
I am learning so much as a debut author and illustrator that I started a blog to keep track of all the valuable information I’ve gathered along the way. If you are interested in my creative process and my publishing journey, please check out my blog, subscribe to my newsletters and/or follow me on social media:

Lucky bunny is coming to town🐰 I’m so proud o Lucky bunny is coming to town🐰 I’m so proud of my student Charlotte who just turn 6. We were talking about foreground, middle ground and background. She totally incorporated that into her painting. I just love working with kids. They are so creative! Just like Picasso said: all children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up! #artclassroom #artclasses #artclassesforkids

When Jeni @jenichenart reached out to me for her @culturedays @bcculturedays project and asked to record a struggle in my native language I recorded this urdu poem of mine... it seemed appropriate for what she was looking for. Today I visited her project site and experienced how voices are playing inside this tent with such complimenting setup. Immersing  myself with the audio playing it felt serene and complete. 

Thank you Jeni for creating such connection through art.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson said in an interview. My parents gave me the perfect Chinese name which literally means Contemplate Universe! Thanks mom and dad for your wisdom 😜🥰 #stardust #contemplatetheuniverse #neildegrassetyson

Had the pleasure of being reminded how peace can shine through our inner cacophonies & the bright world that awaits us when we step out of our heads thanks to @jenichenart's public exhibit! 

If you're by the area, peep at the tree with ribbons for a glimpse.
