Art that
brings you
back to yourself

"You were not meant to run on fumes.
Come, sit with me and let's tend to your cup."

A space for women who have been praised their whole lives for how much they give and have quietly begun to suspect something about that isn't right.

The Artist

Creating spaces for the
woman I used to be

The cost of building a life we did not intentionally choose is steeper than we let ourselves believe. A life lacking the space to breathe, the bandwidth to process, or the safety to be. The life that led me to burning out and a late neurodivergent diagnosis that made me see why. That is when I decided, I am not going to start a new chapter. I will rewrite the whole book.

My life is to honour my nature,
To relish the fruit from my tree,
For that is all I have to offer,
To always be more of me.

I'm Apeksha — an abstract artist, a certified Therapeutic Arts Practitioner, and many other things but primarily, the woman building spaces where women stop performing and start being. A safe space for the woman who is the safe space for everyone else but has no one who is hers. I'm building a community where she can tap into her body and out of her mind into the present moment by creating art around others like her. I'm creating what I needed (and still do).
