“As an artist, I draw inspiration from the playful nature of whimsy, the power of love, and the vibrant energy of color. My work is a celebration of individuality and expression, using color to evoke emotion and engage the senses. With each brush stroke I aim to create captivating looks that not only highlight natural beauty, but also elevate the spirit. I’m passionate about working with cruelty-free and sustainable products.”
