Recently, I made the transformative decision to pursue my artistic practice full-time, a step born from a lifelong dedication to creativity that now takes center stage. This journey has been shaped by unique challenges, including psoriatic arthritis, an autoimmune condition that affects my most of my body but especially my hands and back, making prolonged drawing sessions difficult. Yet, it is precisely these limitations that strengthens my resolve and feeds my creative spirit. For many years, while working in the IT and printing automation industry, my free time was devoted to painting, drawing, learning, and experimenting with various art mediums. Though I enjoyed my career in office automation, my passion lies in creating and teaching art, driven by a desire to help fellow artists hone their skills.
