I’ve been into art for as long as I can remember. Even as a kid, I was always creating — whether that meant drawing in the dirt or using water on concrete as my canvas. I loved that art gave me the ability to create anything I wanted. I could build my own worlds and immerse myself in them, especially during times when I was feeling down.

As I got older, I slowly drifted away from art for a while, but I found my way back to it in high school. I threw myself into creating as a way to cope, and over time I discovered I had become pretty good at it. When I no longer had the space for all of my art supplies, I started experimenting with a free drawing app on my phone. Eventually I moved to my laptop after graduating, and later to my PC.

The transition from traditional graphite art to digital art was definitely challenging, but with time I found my rhythm and slowly began developing my own style. For a long time I mostly created things for myself and my friends, but they kept encouraging me to share my work with others. Let me tell you — it took a LOT of convincing. But here I am, finally taking that step and sharing my creations with the world.

And this is only the beginning — you’ll definitely be seeing more of me! ❤
