About me

As a writer, I write in various genres, among them young adult fiction, romance and drama. I explore themes such as secrets, growing up, identity and friendship - the things that form us in the transition to adulthood. My debut novel "What We Keep Hidden" is available for purchase in my webstore. I'm continually working on new projects that I'm excited to share with you! 

When I paint I usually work with acrylics or oil on canvas, with loose strokes and sponges, as well as palette knives to create texture and depth. I'm inspired by nature, the people around me and the complex feelings defining our lives. My goal is to create works of art that are somehow both engaging and invites reflection. All my art works are available for sale as originals only. 

As a singer I started exploring different singing techniques and genres primarily in the classical school, where I worked more specifically with opera. Since then, I've worked with musical, jazz, pop and blues. I have a versatile voice with vocal width, with a background as a soprano. With much experience from being on stage, I'm both an entertainer and confident performer. 

Thank you for visiting my page! I hope that my art can give you something valuable, and I look forward to sharing my creative journey with you.
