Artist Biography

Starting my artistic journey in 2020, I was sitting around during quarantine inspired to get back to my passion of art. I started drawing at 5 years old after watching Dragon Ball-Z. Shortly after, I was constantly doodling in my notebooks — just random images, because I couldn’t get enough of the experience.

Eventually college came and I took on jobs and lost the time, not the passion, but the time to draw which then limited my art to drafts in my notebook during lectures.

Then at 30 I decided on a new journey, a journey of rediscovering my passion for art and exploring the possibilities. I am grateful for this opportunity to express myself and connect with others through my art. I may make mistakes along the way, but I believe that those mistakes are part of the learning process, and that they will help me grow as an artist. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I hope to create something that resonates with you.
