I am Toronto based digital and traditional artist with more than fifteen years of experience in the book publishing field.
As an illustrator I am interested in creating an enchanting, curious and captivating art from an emotional, historical and cultural approach.

My skills include photography and graphic design as well as illustration, what enables me to provide the client with complete work on a project from concept development to the final art.

My artistic abilities have been recognized through numerous national and international awards including Applied Arts awards for book cover design and Illustration.
