ABOUT Me
Art and stories are my playgrounds, where imagination runs wild and creativity knows no bounds. I craft visual wonders that intrigue adults and weave picture books that enchant children—though don't be surprised to find the lines blurring as each age group sneaks peeks into the other's realm!
As a contemporary visual artist, I conjure installations that transform spaces, harness light to paint with colours, bring illustrations to life, piece together worlds through collage, coax paper into defying its simplicity, and sculpt forms that challenge perception.
But here's the magic behind my creative curtain: whether I'm in my studio experimenting with an installation or at my desk sketching the next beloved children's character, curiosity is my compass, and humour is my trusty sidekick. These twin forces guide my artistic voyage, infusing each creation with a sense of wonder and a generous sprinkle of joy.
My art isn't just meant to be seen—it's an invitation to explore the extraordinary, to question the ordinary, to laugh at the absurd, and to dream beyond the possible.
