When I first moved to California, I knew I wanted to find a healthy hobby- something that would help me relax, unwind and reconnect with myself. I signed up for a 3hr paint class and fell in love with acrylic paint.

I started bringing my paint to the beach and parks, spending quiet moments creating little works of art. What began as a hobby has become a journey of creativity, self discovery, and learning.

I’m still exploring my style and exploring new techniques. I’ve always had a creative side, but I haven’t taken a formal art class since high school. Being self-taught artist comes with its challenges, but theres also something freeing about learning at my own pace without the pressure of perfection or expectations.

One thing I love about art is that there are no rules or boundaries.
