My style is abstract, whimsical, expressive, full of positive energy!
From layering to collaging, throwing ink around, painting with my fingers…
To creating digital art… my creativity has no bounds!
I hope to share with you the joy and peace I experience when creating 🙂

A sense of accomplishment... WOW. What a journey this journal has been! This journal took me about 7 months to fill up (I work in other journals too but this is my main one) and at first, I wasn't even sure I'd enjoy it (oh how wrong I was lol)... I started doing what...
