💙🎁New Artwork Gift for Uncles Partner 🎁💙
This artwork was created as a special gift for Arie, who is not only my uncle in law’s girlfriend, but also a really beautiful friend to me. I wanted to make something meaningful for her to show my appreciation for the kindness, love, and warmth she always gives out 💙🫶🏻

Arie isn’t only my uncle’s partner — she is someone I’ve genuinely gotten to know and grown close to. She is such a sweet, caring, and thoughtful person. I truly appreciate our talks, our time hanging out together, and the way she is always so kind and supportive. This artwork is my way of giving something back to her, as a small reflection of the kindness she always gives to others.
She is not only an amazing friend to me, but also an incredible partner to my uncle-in-law. She has helped him through so much, and she has done so much for him and for his family. This is one of the reasons I wanted to give her this artwork — to reflect the kind of beautiful, loving, and helping person she is.

Meaning)
Here is an artwork titled Arie Wah, which depicts a young female with long black hair, soft rosy lips, and gentle features, surrounded by blooming red roses and intricate white dot-work on a dark Navy background. The female in this piece represents Arie my uncles partner. I have also painted Arie wearing traditional Karen cultural tops, which represents their culture, identity, and pride in her heritage.
I chose to surround her with roses as a symbol of beauty, love, and strength - reflecting the gentle yet powerful spirit she carries. The background of this artwork is surrounded with aborginal dot-work, symbolising connection, love, and storytelling through art. The background represents connection, protection, and storytelling through art and symbolises stars as Arie shines as bright as a star. The blue tones framing her portrait symbolise calmness, depth, and loyalty. And i have chosen Navy blue because it’s her favourite colour.
Through this artwork, I wanted to capture not only Arie’s beauty, but also her warmth, kindness, and gentle soul. Arie Wah is a celebration of her presence, her story, and the light she brings into the lives of those around her.
