I discovered painting after spending the majority of my life as a mathematics researcher and teacher. It all started with a corn circle in the shape of an owl, which drew my attention and captivated me to the point where I felt compelled to replicate those simple and powerful shapes and rework them with minor variations, eventually leading to the creation of Owl, the main character in the children's books I've written, illustrated, and self-published.

I felt an immediate connection to watercolor, but it took me years to trust the medium! The simple geometric lines of the illustrations in the early books became more intricate over time, and I began to experiment with new realms that combined art and geometry.

With this approach, I was inspired by various symbols and proportions linked with sacred geometry, seeking to bring out their harmony via the transparency that only watercolor can provide.

During this artistic journey, I began to teach watercolor classes in which I covered everything from botanical painting to landscapes, urban sketching to portraits.
