Not every drawing needs to say something big.
Most of mine don’t. They were ways to cope, opportunities to slow down, to be present with my feelings, or to express what I held inside. What lives here are the pieces that have helped me cultivate a calmer mind.
What Art You’ll Find Here
Each artwork in this space holds a different kind of beginning. Some came from restlessness. Others came from silence. None were rushed and none were made with a perfect image in mind.
No Perfect Lines
I begin with simple sketches, but I rarely follow them exactly. I make repetitive strokes, scattered marks, scribbles that seem unintelligible at first. I keep them flowing. I let them build, layer by layer. Over time, the piece finds its own direction.
It Took Time To Complete
There’s no fixed pace in how I work. I stop when I need to. Sometimes a drawing waits in silence before I pick it up again. I don’t force a finish. I return only when something inside feels ready to continue, even if just for a few lines.
Just for Me, But Shared Anyway
This space wasn’t built with an audience in mind. But sometimes, I still feel like sharing. Not for performance. Just to place something gently in the open. If it resonates, that’s okay. If it doesn’t, that’s okay too.
Hello! I'm Lhia
I used to think art had to be perfect to be worth sharing. That each piece needs to be polished, planned, and praised. But the more I tried to meet that standard, the more I lost touch with why I started drawing in the first place.
Now, I draw slowly, with ink-stained fingers and a calmer mind. No rules, no refined lines, just ink, paper, and whatever I needed to let out that day.

Express Your Mind
If I could create a piece of art that encapsulates your current mindset, what would it look like? Why is this particular moment important to express?
