About Me

Hello future artists!

I am an artist and designer since many years and now I would like to share my skills, knowledge and experience with you.
I offer classes in drawing and painting, especially portraits from traditional pencil portrait, face studies to abstracted, modified artworks via digital media.
Please checkout my class!

I am coming from a family of artists and started drawing since very young age with penciling faces, over pastel charcoal landscapes and aquarelle, acrylics. Through my design studies my works became much influenced by fashion and textiles as I am a graduated womenswear designer. Since my studies I created more and more illustrations with photoshop. Now I create motion portraits, visuals and videos as well.
My works have been showcased in numerous publications including TUSH Magazine and MODEILLUSTRATION.
