WELCOME TO MY VISUAL DIARY WRITTEN IN COLOURS & SHAPES. AND I LOVE ANIMALS & NATURE !
| ABOUT |
Hi, I’m a cross-disciplinary artist & aspiring art therapist based in London. I am a visual communicator who combines colours and shapes to be in touch with emotions, understand our inner selves and untangle them. I’m especially passionate about (mental) health care, special needs education and wildlife. Gouche painting, printmaking, and photography are my main tools, however I’m always exploring new languages to communicate abstract emotions more effectively.
