About

Hi! I’m an animal and nature loving, thriller gobbling bookworm artist who loves to doodle and create stories. My passion for art started in childhood, watching animated movies, series and through my avid gamer brother. A student for life, I’m always exploring new techniques and skills and have a small library consisting of novels, art and photography books. My inspirations to create and work hard are rooted in my love of nature, emotions and a hope to create positive change. I'm also a collector of books, plants, coins, pins and memories.
