Vendor Biography

I grew up in a household that was quite unique. Mom and Dad are professional artists. I am a visual artist with a passion to facilitate and enable fellow creatives to achieve their dreams.

Now with a family of my own, I find it tricky sometimes to find time for my own creative practice. I know that is a recurring narrative among creative mothers, if I can help one person achieve her dream – that will help me reach mine.

During lockdown, I studied to become a certified forest bathing guide, the forest has always been a huge part of my life and now I can share this practice with you.
