Paintings that remind you that home is a place where you can be authentic and safely grow
Home is
Home is where my loved ones are
Life can get so busy and demanding that sometimes we forget the importance of spending quality time with our loved ones. When your family lives in a different country, this adds another layer of complexity.
However, these relationships are essential because they bring comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging.
May this painting serve as a beautiful reminder to cherish the time spent with your loved ones.

Home is where I feel safe
Home is not just a place on a map, but also a feeling of comfort and security. It is a sanctuary where you can find refuge from the chaos of the world. An environment where you can let go and relax.
Sometimes this feeling of security can be felt while in the presence of a beloved pet or during a peaceful walk in the woods. Other times it is found in familiar objects that you have collected, meaningful tokens, that remind you of the different places you have called home.
This painting is a gentle reminder to pay attention to the moments and things that give you a sense of security, no matter where you are.

Home is where I feel seen
It is often very easy to focus on the places and moments where you feel like you don’t belong - conversations where you feel misunderstood or overlooked. You look for a place where your multicultural experiences will be accepted and validated, even if they differ from the norm.
Home is a space where you can authentically share the stories that are within you and connect with others on a deeper level.
This painting serves as a reminder to persevere in finding those who allow you to be yourself, and where you can feel genuinely understood.

Home is where I can thrive and grow
In a TED talk called “Where is home?” Pico Iyer beautifully says that “home is more linked to a piece of soul than a piece of soil.”
Home is somewhere you can be authentic and safely grow. Somewhere you can rest, reflect and dare to dream.
This painting is an encouragement to find a space where you can find yourself and have the freedom to grow.
