I’m a contemplative artist, my drawings are born from a place shaped by curiosity, attention, imagination and generosity. I work primarily with analog drawing.

• I create artwork for book covers, posters, postcards, zines, websites, poetry, essays, magazines, stickers, and other projects.
• Quiet Place is my creative garden where I gather my practices, drawings, collections, my Herbaria, comics and animations, collages, contemplations, writings and experiences. It’s an organic and experimental space, a full expression of my art. It’s available to my newsletter subscribers.
• Quiet Place membership - is a space of connection where you can support me as an artist and where I hope to nourish and inspire you. I bring you to my practices and every month I send you my artwork.

• Last year I created “12 practices to see” in a Notion page (it’s available at Quiet Place) and this January I publish the mini-artzine “12 practices to see” inspire by them (you can grab it here).

• This practices are the core of -

We Breathe Together, my Home-based Art Residency

I live here

I create unique drawings that expand your project in a beautiful and meaningful way.

My drawings are inspired by the community of beings that live alongside me, by seasonal rhythms, contemplative practices, my readings, by gestures of daily life, metamorphoses and morphologies, collections, wanderings, and experiences.

My drawings emerge in varied styles because they express the different materials I enjoy working with, black and white, colours, in the ongoing exploration of light and shadow, textures, and a fascination with intricacies and detail.

For those who engage with them, I hope they evoke presence, community, beauty, and a creative space to breathe and to be.
