The Beginnings

Every great endeavour starts with a passion, and for me, that passion has always been art. From a young age, I found joy in painting and creating, using different mediums and craft materials and trying out many ideas to develop, spending countless hours bringing my imagination to paper. These early experiences were instrumental in developing my love for art and design, setting me on a path that has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding.


The Evolution


Over the years, my creative journey has taken many forms. I pursued formal education in interior design, which provided me with a strong foundation in various techniques, mediums and design elements. As I delved deeper into the world of design, I discovered the exciting possibilities that come with merging art and design.





The Leap into Watercolor


In 2018, after years of experimenting with different mediums, I discovered my true passion: watercolour. The fluidity, vibrancy, and versatility of watercolours captivated me, providing a powerful means of expression and emotional release. Since then, watercolours have been my primary medium, allowing me to capture the beauty of natural landscapes, the enchanting of florals and botanicals and the captivating relationship between architecture and people in urban sketches.
