About My Art

I love finding beauty in life’s little moments and details, and I express that love through watercolor paintings. My passion lies in capturing these small but significant scenes in a way that feels real and intriguing.

Nature is my endless muse. There’s something incredibly joyful about sharing the beauty I see every day, like the delicate petals of a flower or the simple tranquility of a woodland path. For me, the journey to choosing what to paint starts with color; I’m irresistibly drawn to vibrant and striking palettes.

What really sparks my creativity is the story behind each scene. Sometimes it’s straightforward, like the charm of raindrops on leaves, or the determination of a tiny plant growing between rocks. Other times, it’s more about the feelings of peace or happiness that come from personal connections to what I’m painting.

My technique plays a big role in this storytelling. I mostly use my own photos as references, meaning every scene I paint is something I’ve actually experienced. I love using watercolor because of its transparency. By layering colors gradually, I can add depth and emotion to each piece.

In a nutshell, my paintings are a reflection of how I see and experience the world. I hope they invite you to discover your own stories in the details and see beauty in the everyday.
