ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTOR:

I’m a visual artist specializing in watercolor, ink, and gouache — mediums that allow me to explore softness, strength, and everything in between. My art is a reflection of emotion — a space where I can translate what I feel into color, texture, and form.

I’m especially drawn to themes that explore identity, heritage, and the resilience and power of women. My perspective is shaped by life’s quiet strength, its chaos, and its beauty — and those experiences deeply influence how I show up on the canvas. They’ve taught me to embrace imperfection, to stay present, and to find wonder in the everyday.

You’ll find bold colors, soft gradients, and symbolic storytelling throughout my collections. Whether it’s a tender portrait, a dynamic cityscape, or an abstract expression of strength, each piece is crafted with care and intention. I often play with symbolism and abstract narratives, inviting viewers to find their own meaning within each brushstroke.

She’s Artsy began as a way to share my creative journey, and has grown into a space for connection, inspiration, and handcrafted joy. I hope that through my work, you find a little spark of something familiar — a feeling, a memory, or simply a moment of stillness.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Every kind message, story, and piece that finds a new home fills me with gratitude. A portion of proceeds from each sale is donated to local charities — a small way to give back and keep the cycle of love going.
