Hey!

​

Thanks so much for being here.

​

Just thought i'd let you know know a little bit of my background.

​

I’m an artist (I guess you know that already, being here :D) currently living in the UK.

 

I hold a bachelor degree in Creative Advertising.

 

I lived and worked in London for 10 years as a Copywriter, creating ad campaigns for big brands. It was a lot of fun.

​

But.. the shrinking budgets, timings and ever-changing rules started to suck the creativity away from me at quick pace.

 

I wanted creative freedom.

​

Creativity has always been a part of who I am.

I’ve always loved making things, drawing, painting, trying to make the world a better, more creative place, somehow.

​

So it was time for me to take a leap of faith; live my dream where I can actually be my true self... become a full time artist.

​

Art for me is me in my most vulnerable state.

I’m a quiet and reserved person (I do have a  crazy side).

I prefer to listen, observe and soak everything up.

I think my "chattiness" and "loudness" goes on the canvas, instead. 

​

It's basically where I bare all.

My emotions, my fears, my dreams.

Every brushstroke, every layer has meaning.

Every experience in my past – the good, the bad and the damn ugly, fuels me to create.

It ignites my brain and fills my soul with passion.

When I paint, my mind is free.

​

But there’s something extra special about art.

Art has the power to make you think or feel things from deep within.

​

I invite people to lose themselves within each painting I create.

I want to transport them, like a portal into a new world.

Their world.

A welcoming escape, even just for a few seconds.

​

I am obsessed with the sky. I love vibrant skies and moody cloud formations, storms and sunsets.  

 

My biggest inspiration comes from the world around me – Mother Nature, in particular. She’s unpredictable, with her ever-shifting dynamics; fearless, forceful, and unforgiving, but yet peaceful, playful and warming.

​

​Storm chasing is where you’ll find me when I retire. :D
