FINE ARTS
I've always loved using mixed media to express my connection to nostalgic memories, nature and animals — especially pets. Whether it's an old forgotten tractor or a family's beloved cat, I try to capture not just how it looks, but how it feels. Every detail matters to me, from the tiniest hand-drawn stroke to the shape and texture of a sculpture or even a decorated cake. Through each piece, I aim to tell a story, preserve a moment and most importantly — uplift others. Art has always been a way for me to offer comfort, connection and joy, and I hope my work brings a little of that to everyone who experiences it.
