You can praise art, you can critique it—but you cannot ignore it. I hold a formal qualification in Graphic Design and spent over a decade working in the design industry. Creativity has always been a part of how I express myself, and in recent years, I’ve had the privilege of returning to it full-time as an artist. I also teach private art classes for both children and adults, where I share not just techniques, but the joy of creating. My background in design gives my art a graphic, structured quality, while my personal practice allows room for freedom and experimentation. Over the last few years, art has become my grounding force. In a chaotic world, being creative helps me stay centered. I work in various mediums—oil, acrylic, gouache, and ink—and have experience in painting, printmaking, and ceramics. Each medium allows me to explore new ways of seeing and sharing beauty.
