in a colourful nutshell
I like to think that a word people use to describe me is ‘colourful’, and I’d be proud if they did. I love rich culture, loud patterns, bright colours, and going barefoot.
I’ve spent a long time working on being the most true version of myself, and I’m still working on it. I love the things that make me unique, as we all should. Don’t be afraid to live your life in full colour
my art journey
After I realised I had to get good grades in school to become a veterinarian – I decided I was going to be artist instead!
I was always a creative child, but at 19 I started selling my first commissioned artworks, and my art career began.
I have spent over 10 years making a creating artworks while travelling the world and working various part-time jobs.
However, it wasn’t until 2022 that I felt I truly found my artistic voice, and became the artist I am today.
I am passionate about experimentation, and am always excited to explore new techniques within my artworks.

my visual journal
Another creative outlet for me is creating beautiful videos. I love the process of video editing and cinematography. If you’d like to explore my painting process, and get to know me a little better, take a look through my YouTube channel.
my inspiration
I’ve always been an animals lover and I really enjoy portraying the animal kingdom through my eyes.
I want to convey a sense of both peacefulness and joy within my paintings, while still incorporating the bright bold colours that I love and the animals that I feel drawn to.
My world travel and the various places I’ve called home have also had a big influence on what I paint, and will no doubt continue to do.
Pure passion is what drives me to paint almost everyday, and I hope you will get some joy from my artworks.
