Art has always been my way of exploring the world, of understanding it beyond what meets the eye. When I was younger, my parents encouraged me to experiment with every kind of medium—oils, watercolors, pencil work—whatever caught my attention. Our family’s art gallery was not just a place to showcase paintings; it was a space of learning, growth, and endless creative possibilities.

Between my mother’s private studio and the classroom in our gallery, I had the freedom to paint anything that inspired me. Landscapes, portraits, still life—I tried it all. My parents nurtured that creativity, never restricting my curiosity but instead offering constant encouragement.

Through all of that exploration, wildlife became my focus. There was something about the movement of animals, the way they existed within nature, that felt different. Unlike a still life or a portrait, wildlife was ever-changing, unpredictable. Capturing it on canvas wasn’t just about skill; it was about observation, about seeing beyond the surface.
I discovered that painting wildlife wasn’t simply an artistic pursuit—it was a way of preserving fleeting moments in nature, honoring the creatures that often go unnoticed. Through each brushstroke, I aim to reflect not just their physical beauty, but the quiet presence they hold in the wild.

That realization led me down the path I walk today, one where art and conservation are intertwined. Wildlife has become more than a subject—it is a lifelong passion, one that I hope to share through every painting I create.
