My shop is a collection of little moments for happy walls. It was made to inspire, decorate and add some color to your special space.

In my work, I enjoy exploring the relationship between texture and surface; the translation of light and color into a newer, more contemporary forms. Celebrating the beauty of imperfection.

My work is inspired by the endless beauty of nature. Its unique colors and shapes inspire me to develop my own interpretation and create a new, intuitive surface of rich textures, details and rhythms.

I mainly work in soft oil pastels, wax pastels and colored pencils, but I also enjoy exploring in ink and gouache as well as mixing different media.
