My Creative Journey: From Ballet Shoes to Botanical Art

Let’s start with your creative journey — when did art first become part of your life, and how did it evolve into a career in design?

Art has really been with me since the very beginning. I know it sounds early, but even at three or four years old, I was surrounded by creativity. My aunt was a professional artist, so I spent time in her studio, absorbing the smell of oils, the textures of canvases, the rhythm of her brushwork. My cousins were also older and incredibly artistic — they were always making something, and I found that world irresistible.

Creativity ran deep in my family. My grandmother was a ballerina and vaudeville performer, and my grandfather was a comedian — they were both part of the theatre world in their day. That spirit of performance and artistic expression was just part of the air I breathed growing up.
