About

I grew up in a home marked by emotional absence.

My mother was often too unwell to care for me, and my father, a talented wood craftsman, carried his own heavy burdens.

I had to raise myself, and for a long time I felt like an outsider..
I felt alone and never really seen.

Art became my safe haven. It is the place where I feel alive and free.

At a young age, whilst going to the art academy, I discovered that creativity came naturally to me.
I dreamed of a future as a fashion designer, but life had other plans..

A chronic heart condition, followed by burnout, set me on a long healing journey that reshaped my path.

Looking back, I see those challenges as the foundation for what I do and who I am today.

Through my paintings I translate my own story:
the emotions, the lessons, the beauty found in struggle.

Through my workshops I share the healing power of creativity, helping others reconnect with their feelings and discover their own inner strength.

My mission is to reveal that creativity isn’t just art, but a powerful doorway to self-discovery and change.

It’s a way to heal, to transform and to come home to yourself.

I hope my story can inspire many others to walk the path of creativity.
