She has followed this passion for over 20 years, starting with a 5-year degree in fine arts from a premier art institute. Her strengths are watercolour, pencil sketching/shading and detailing in both the mediums.
Over the years her works include illustration jobs for clothing brands, art workshops in corporate firms and detailed watercolour paintings.
In Queensland, she lived in a splendid townhome surrounded by flora and fauna where she started enjoying gardening and collecting leaves and intriguing remains of plants. Her inspiration and creativity are at its peak in the wee hours of the mornings when she is out and about admiring the nature. It is here that she developed a special affinity towards native Australian botanicals.
This combined with her passion for watercolour painting gave her the fuel to start formal training in Watercolour and Botanical Art after which she never looked back. The journey wasn’t an easy one but keeping resilience on her side she kept moving forward without looking behind.
She now resides in NSW and is also an animal lover and has a lovely dog that also plays an important role in keeping up her interest in nature. Whenever she goes for strolls with him, she loves observing and admiring various leaves and flowers around.
She is always intrigued by the dry leaves and twigs or any plant remains around and collects them during her long walks as raw material for her artworks. Her latest love for fresh vegetables and fruits from various farmers’ markets around the city is her recent love. She is often awestruck by the colourful patterns and beautiful natural hues sprayed all across seasonal fresh produce pumpkins, various varieties of squash and pears and she plans to develop a detailed artwork with these subjects as an inspiration in this new year. She also likes portraying various stages of fruits and vegetables ripening over time by rendering and watercolour.
