I also enjoy embroidery and jewelry making because each art form lets me express creativity in a different way.

Where do you find inspiration?

When I feel sad or stressed, painting works like therapy for me — it helps me relax, calm down, and express my emotions. When I feel happy and inspired, I paint or embroider with love and positive energy. Jewelry making helps me when I feel anxious or exhausted because it allows me to focus and brings me peace.
