Biography

I call myself a self made artist. Or maybe an apprentice, as still so much to learn :). I don’t have any formal training apart from basic lessons in school, but I have always enjoyed painting and COVID “off time” really started me on a totally new journey. I started drawing with aquarelle pencils in 2021 and a year later in March 2023 took a “crash” on line course in botanical watercolour. The rest is just practice and practice and drawing as much as I can. I’m delighted that during the past two years I sold around 30-40 of my drawings, both pencils and watercolour. I’m constantly practicing new (for me) techniques and ideas (thank you internet and all lovely artists sharing tips and advise).
