Hello, I’m Hephzibah.

Apart from being an artist, I’m also a dentist — a journey that has taken years of hard work, dedication and plenty of late nights. It’s something I’m incredibly proud of, and a very different yet equally meaningful part of who I am.

My love for painting goes all the way back to childhood. It was something I always enjoyed, but somewhere along the way, life got busy. During the second wave of COVID, I found my way back to painting. What started as a way to spend my time and reconnect with something I loved gradually became so much more.

I began experimenting with colours, exploring different mediums and sharing my work online. One painting led to another, and eventually, that little corner of creativity grew into what is now Varlas by Hephzibah.

Today, I get to balance two very different worlds — dentistry and art. One shaped by years of studying and hard work, and the other by curiosity, creativity and a love I’ve carried since I was little.

This space is a little piece of that journey, and I’m excited to share more of it with you.
