From an early age already I was recognised to be blessed with a natural artistic talent which also runs in the family. I went for my first art class at the age of 9 and also soon had to draw a lot of my class mates' biology sketches in school and were known for my artistic abilities.
I continued to use my artistic abilities as I went to college where I was part of a few artistic endeavours like making programs and murials for functions and also made some promotional posters for the SPCA while I was there.
After college I completed a Painting Workshop and a Commercial Art Diploma and continued painting on assignment and selling some paintings.
But, animals and nature has always been my first love. As a teenager I had pictures of animals on my bedroom walls and still have an immense interest in animals and nature, but being born with a disability prevented me from following a career where I can work with animals or in nature, so I started to live out my love for nature in my art.
My wish is to share and promote the beauty of nature and the importance of it in our lives to bring us peace and happiness to increase our overall wellness.
