My Creative Journey

My creative journey has taught me to deeply appreciate the infinite diversity of colors in nature. Like all relationships, colors change and evolve in response to each other. My illustrations are my attempt to capture these relationships.

I am inspired by the colors and pattern I see in nature, the tessallated leaves, the vines that grow in my garden reaching for the sky. The color combinations in flowers and birds. Nature is the true artist and my teacher.

All of my work is hand-illustrated using Procreate. My process is rooted in observation, inspiration and intuition - never AI. Every color, pattern and mark is shaped by me.

Joy is the compass that guides me to the next artistic expression. I follow this joy wherever it leads me. It is never too late to connect to our creativity, to birth beauty into the world. I create for the little girl inside me, the little girl that wanted to be seen, expressed. I create for her.

Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of god that is inside each of us.
