Art has always been a part of my life. My grandmother passed the skill down to my mom, and from her, to me. I’ve been drawing ever since I can remember to be able to hold a pencil, and drawing gradually turned into handmade crafts especially in the last few years. The tree of life is something i enjoy making the most because I find peace in making them, and also because i love being as close as i can to nature and finding happiness in every detail of it.
