My art journey began in the most down‑to‑earth way: teaching myself at home and following along with The Art Sherpa. Those early sessions sparked something in me, and as I improved, I pushed myself further by taking a class with Yvette St‑Amant. That experience opened the door to painting faces, a skill I had long admired but never thought I’d be able to do. Today, my work is shaped by the artists who inspire me most—Van Gogh’s emotion, Klimt’s elegance, and Dalí’s surreal imagination.
