About


Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m thrilled to have you here. This site is about embracing creativity despite limited resources.

Story Time!

My love for art started in science school, where drawing became my escape from dry textbooks and mind-numbing lectures. I then fell in love with colored pencils, which I used for a few years.

One stressful day, my painting journey started with a strange mix of expired iodine solution (you read it right!) and regular house paint. This quirky concoction was my ticket to an endless world of creative escape.

Then, I decided to try a normal medium. I gave oil painting a shot, but its long waiting time didn’t fit my fast-paced life at the time. Then I dabbled into watercolors. I liked some of the techniques I still use in my paintings. But you know what? My top pick has got to be acrylics.

Fast forward hectic life, painting on big canvas became impossible. I totally get the struggles of having limited time, space and resources. But that won’t stop me from pursuing my passion.

I’ve discovered the joy of painting quick, easy designs on small surfaces like rocks, cards, and mini canvases. And I’m excited to share that with you!
