Drawing is a meditation that creates a state of ambience,

a feeling that encompasses my soul while at work.

In life I like to keep as busy as a bee.

My mind is most content when making or learning.

​

I enjoy studying patterns, symbols, textiles and languages.

Being a witness to different cultures and the ingenuity of people.

Travelling is the very essence of nature and beauty of the Universe.

Experiencing the journey as a destination, revealing the vastness of it all.
 

Since 2004 my main focus has been working with

a wonderful family business called Maiwa.

There I have learned many artistic mediums, 

and love co-teaching workshops on natural dyes.

 

Maiwa has also provided opportunities to travel,

to remote areas of India to work alongside master artisans;

dyers, block printers, spinners, weavers, and embroiderers.

​Much of my art is inspired by these adventures and some

even began while waiting for a train or flying in a plane.

 

Any kind of paper makes me want to start drawing.

Often I begin with a simple shape and start branching out.

Sometimes I work free hand or more precisely with a compass and ruler.

I love the feeling and flow of a dip pen and ink.

For colours: I use pencil crayons, earth pigments and watercolours.

​

Most recently I’ve been learning to draw on an iPad 

and have been able to turn my originals into a printable format.

Procreate has so many features which is unlocking new possibilities,

and I am looking forward to exploring this technology.

 

I built this website with Wix. Most products are

printed on demand and shipped worldwide through Printful.

There are possibilities of ordering wholesale and

customizing colours or products especially for you. 

​

As time evolves I will be adding originals,

limited edition prints, and textile work.
