About the Artist

I'm neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I'm only very, very curious. 
- Albert Einstein

I am an 24 year old artist and an art teacher.
Specialized in:
- Graphic Design
- Illustration
- Digital art
- Watercolors
- Traditional drawings
- Inks
I've been drawing my whole life, literally. My parents have told me that I have been drawing since the moment I could hold a pencil. So I've been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember, yet I only started with digital art at the end of the year 2012 in which I'm completely self-taught.
Naturally most of my skills I've gotten with constant practice, but when it comes to traditional art I have a life-long art education. I was sent to an art school when I was four years old and there I learned all kinds of material and techniques. From there my artistic journey continued to Tammerkoski art high school, from where I graduated at 2010. And right after that I was accepted the University of Lapland from where I graduated as an art teacher in 2015.
Year 2015-2016 I spent in Ireland, studying Graphic Design in Dublin Institute of Design - to improve my skills in digital software and to enlarge my area of expertise.
