Between 2022 and 2023 PT ventured into abstract painting which lent an uninhibited foray into deeper realms of expressions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2025 and beyond PT hopes to continue creating abstractly. She will delve into a colorful world of imaginary vignettes<\/strong> through emotional and spiritual catharsis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to more intuitive paintings, PT has also created an original series of artworks influenced by diasporic connections. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growing collection is entitled, “Down Home”<\/strong> and features abstract scenes inspired by island life and culture.. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 2023 marked the very first time “Down Home” was hosted as a solo exhibition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PT also showcased several new works from the series to the public.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She truly appreciated the opportunity and support of the Whitby, Ontario community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storytelling  is an art form that possesses the phenomenal ability to articulate its voice through varied mediums.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a gift on divine assignment to the individual who stewards it well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use my art to externalise imagery and anecdotes from within.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a story through words or pictures is a privilege that supersedes the artist and ultimately reflects \u2018the Creator.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most art is subjective and open to interpretation from its observers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her retelling of these events is expressed through a first person account, via journal entries she’s kept for decades.<\/strong>
