Brushstrokes & Stories

Acrylic paintings and timeless watercolor illustrations, each accompanied by its own poem.

As a lifelong book lover, I draw deep inspiration from old storybook illustrations. My purpose in art is to keep these traditional methods alive through both technique and style. '

I strive to create my watercolor illustrations as authentically as possible, with only minimal digital adjustments when needed for publishing.

I am committed to genuine, handcrafted work and therefore choose not to use AI in my artistic process.

Comission work in watercolour and ink

I currently accept commission work in watercolor for both private clients and businesses.

In 2025 alone, I have created over one hundred hand-painted watercolor postcards and I have also started creating commissioned tattoo designs.

Acrylic paintings

My second main medium is acrylics, where my style is beginning to take subtle inspiration from impressionism. My acrylic works are primarily created for art exhibitions.
