I'm a teacher and an artist. I create mixed-media pieces as well as water-color paintings, in a whimsical, playful way.

I love powerful colors and the shining world of glitter. And I have a passion for Art Journals. Art Journals are notebooks that collect your art in form of paintings, ephemeras and words. Anything goes. Everything is possible!

I want to guide you to overcome your fears of the blank page. I want to inspire you to express yourself. I will let you take new directions. Art is about having fun. And your Art Journal is the best place to play around.
