The swirls As a young child, she had shown interest in the arts but growing up in a third world country, a few factors halted her pursuits for the arts.

She taught herself to draw and paint but also hid her artworks from her father. Unbeknownst to him, She joined a lot of poster making /mural painting contests, and even winning a few.
