Address: Ward 9 - Peter Robertson Boulevard and Coachwhip Road (Brampton Civic Hospital Entrance)

"Organica" is a vibrant watercolour series created while caring for my mother during her recovery from knee replacement surgery. The sweeping movement and rising forms embody my hope for her - flow returning, strength rebuilding, and life moving forward.

Rich, luminous colour speaks the language of vitality, healing, and optimism. Inspired by my Punjabi heritage, the work incorporates subtle Phulkari motifs, gestures of traditional embroidery reimagined through paint, honouring generations of women who stitch resilience, patience, and beauty into everyday life.

"Organica" celebrates renewal and the enduring bond between mother and daughter. It is a reflection on healing, heritage, and the quiet strength that carries us through life's seasons.
