Payal is an artist based in Ottawa with focus on expressionist and abstract style of art. Her work is inspired by the therapeutic nature of the arts, and depicts self-expression in texture, colour and flow. She loves experimenting with different art media, as she finds that one can be just as creative and innovative using commonplace items. Her default medium to work on, however, is acrylics. She enjoys using bright colors in her artwork. “Even though the artwork I create is largely for self-healing, knowing that there are many people who associate with and relate to my artwork gives me immense joy.”
