Art chose me long before I chose it. As a child, I discovered the magic of creation with nothing more than a pencil and paper. I was captivated by how simple lines could become anything I imagined; faces that held stories, landscapes that invited exploration, and dreams given form through graphite and determination. Drawing was my first language, my way of speaking to the world when words weren’t enough. In those early years, drawing wasn’t just what I did; it was who I was.

Life, as it does, eventually pulled me in different directions. Responsibilities grew, practical concerns took precedence, and my sketchbooks were tucked away in forgotten drawers. Yet through it all, something flickered inside me, a persistent flame that refused to be extinguished. The urge to create, to capture the world through line and form, never truly left. It waited patiently, like a loyal friend.

Years later, I found my way back to that familiar embrace of pencil on paper, and eventually, I embarked on the bold adventure of painting. What began as rediscovering the joy of drawing gradually blossomed into an exploration of the rich world of color and paint. Every line became an act of reclamation, every canvas a declaration that it’s never too late to honor the dreams that live within us.

As a self-taught artist, my journey has been one of pure discovery and authentic expression. From my earliest drawings to my current paintings, I’ve been free to explore, experiment, and develop a voice that’s uniquely mine. Each piece tells not just a story on paper or canvas, but the story of perseverance, of passion that endures, creativity that refuses to be silenced, and the beautiful truth that our deepest calling will always find a way back to us.

My work is born from this journey of return. from the simple joy of drawing to the rich expression of painting. It carries within it the joy of rediscovery, the wisdom of experience, and the raw authenticity of someone who creates not because they have to, but because they cannot imagine doing anything else. When you look at my art, you’re seeing more than drawings or paintings; you are witnessing the triumph of passion over circumstance, the victory of the creative spirit that lives in all of us.

Whether you’re an art lover seeking pieces that speak to the soul, or someone on your own journey, a creative rediscovery, I invite you to explore these works with me. They are reminders that it’s never too late to answer the call of our truest selves, and that the most beautiful art often comes from the most authentic places within us.
