I am a graduate illustrator, teacher and dog trainer. I’m wildly quirky, passionate and fully devoted to art, which I live with all my heart. I adore animals, especially dogs, and I also train them as a hobby. I believe in art as the true language of the soul. My illustrations are raw, symbolic and emotionally charged. They explore emotions that words cannot hold pain, tenderness, power, otherness. I draw inspiration from nature, animals and personal experiences. For me, art is not just expression, it is the place where I can be completely myself.

With this application, I am submitting a cohesive series of five illustrations, connected through a shared emotional and symbolic narrative.
