About Me
I'm an artist from the USA in my late 30's.
I've sold my art across various communities for almost 20 years now.I have a passion for storytelling through art. I love creating vibrant, emotional pieces with soft textures and whimsical details. I specialize in character-driven pieces, blending fantasy and warmth. I’ve been creating art for almost two decades and love working closely with clients to bring their ideas to life. I pride myself on communication, attention to detail, and creating pieces that clients cherish.
