I am a London-based artist devoted to the delicate art of pastel painting, with a deep-rooted passion for capturing the grace and soul of animals.

From an early age, a quiet reverence for the natural world stirred within me—an affection that has only deepened over time.
Animals have always held my fascination; their quiet strength, subtle expressions, and untamed beauty speak to something timeless and true.
They are my constant inspiration, and painting them is not just a practice, but a heartfelt privilege.

My artistic vision is rooted in realism—each stroke of pastel carefully placed to honour the unique spirit of every creature.
Through texture, light, and detail, I strive to breathe life into my subjects, revealing their essence beyond the surface.
Watching them emerge on paper—layer by layer, gaze by gaze—is a moment of quiet magic, and the most joyful part of the creative process.

Whether it’s a beloved companion or a majestic wild animal, my goal is to create work that resonates, that evokes connection, memory, and wonder.
