Art has always been a part of my life. I began designing as a child and have continued to draw and paint as an adult. I studied for two years at the studio of painter Tiziano Bonanni and later continued to paint in my own studio, experimenting with different painting techniques to achieve desired moods. In the past couple of years, I have decided to devote more time to building my art career, which has proven fruitful. I've received several awards and honors and continue to receive invitations to participate in exhibitions. My artwork is in private collections around the world.
