About the studio
At my studio I make my artwork the old-fashioned way, with brushes, paint, and paper, and I keep digital edits to a minimum so the designs stay close to the original hand-painted piece. In a world that often feels overly digital and AI-driven, I want to create things that feel slower, more human, and more grounded. As an artist and writer, I care about analog living, simple screen-free hobbies, and the joy of making things by hand, and that’s also what I love to write about here on the blog.
