This is Me.

Sometimes, it takes nearly half a lifetime to find the courage to fully embrace your calling. For me, that calling has always been art.

 

Since childhood, creativity has been my constant companion, expressed on paper and canvas, nurtured across different countries and cultures as I moved throughout my life. Despite a dynamic professional journey—including roles as a nurse, a strategic advisor in the healthcare sector, many volunteer positions, an interior design trainee, a school director and kindergarten teacher—art remained the enduring thread that connected it all. Alongside these roles, and while raising my amazing children over the past 16 years, I’ve consistently returned to my creative roots. 

 

Over time, it became clear: art is not just a passion.

It is what I am meant to do. When you experience art – in any form – it should evoke an emotion. That is exactly what I hope to achieve with my work: that it resonates with you and brings a sense of positivity.​​

​​​​

Enjoy dear art lovers!​
