ABOUT

Hello!

I’m so glad you’re here.

I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria – a city that will always hold my heart and be home to me. These days, I’m living and working in Sarasota, Florida, where I continue to pursue my lifelong passion for art.

My artistic journey began with a deep curiosity for the natural world. I’ve spent years traveling across Europe, Africa, and North America – sketching animals in the wild, at zoos, and through the quiet study of museum collections. Those experiences taught me more than just how to draw, they taught me how to observe. I’ve spent my life learning to look past the surface to really understand the nature, behavior, and unique character of the creatures I paint.

Whether I’m working on paper, canvas, or digital, my goal is always the same: to capture the beauty of the living world and the spirit of your pet. Painting animals isn’t just my career – it’s a constant, rewarding journey of discovery.
