Growing up in a family of artists, I developed a strong sense of purpose through self expression in visual arts. I immigrated to the United States from Bulgaria in my early teenage years, and during those initial years of language barriers and culture shock, I relied on art to communicate with the world. I fell in love with using art as a way to capture and tell stories.


Today, visual arts continue to be a cornerstone in my education and personal growth. I push myself to explore new methods and techniques to expand my craft. Most of my recent work is digital, although I still use oil and acrylic for certain projects.


I believe art should be accessible and affordable for everyone. That is why I partner with online retail stores Society6 and Redbubble to distribute prints of my work worldwide.
