Hello you!
I’ve always loved creating art, and I’m grateful that it has become a medium through which I can share my passion for biodiversity. I am unable to stick to one common style because I appreciate so many different styles and get so much inspiration everywhere. I enjoy challenging myself to develop new styles that present wildlife in fresh and engaging ways, sparking curiosity and inviting people to see nature differently. As an advocate for our region’s rich but often overlooked biodiversity, I strive to make these unique species more visible and valued through my work.
