The Craft

My journey with digital art began in graphic design. Over the years, through self-study, formal classes, and hands-on experience, I became fluent in tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign — the first languages I used to express myself visually.

Eventually, I began experimenting beyond design. I played with filters using apps like Prisma, photo edits, even early AI-generated art in Photoleap — not as final pieces, but as raw materials. I collaged, composited, and reshaped images to reflect my vision. My tools expanded, but I was always reaching for something more intuitive and personal.

Everything changed in May 2024 when I began using Procreate. It felt like finding the right key to unlock the art I had always wanted to make. With the Apple Pencil in hand, a limitless palette, and a growing collection of brushes, I began to explore: color, texture, light, pattern, and sacred symmetry — all guided by intuition.

I’m especially drawn to brushes that play with light and variation — iridescence, sparkle, shine. I layer, I blend, I experiment. I tap into digital tools that mimic traditional mediums like watercolor and oil, as well as tools that don’t exist outside the screen — light brushes, foils, and frequency effects. Blending modes are my secret weapon. They allow me to push beyond the expected and into the magical.

I also use iOrnament for geometric symmetries, and Kaleidopaint for tessellated patterns. Whether I’m working in Procreate alone or layering tools together, I create from a flow state — grounded in my spirituality and led by inspiration.

My art is a conversation with the divine. It gives me peace, purpose, and the feeling of coming home to myself.
