Painting and drawing have always been a part of my life. Working in a unique technique with gouache and ink gives me the creative freedom to explore these ideas. I use strong contrast, quality of light and brilliant luminosity, and black line in order to create a burst of energy.

I love to introduce the beauty and magic of paintings to others.
