Beyond the Canvas
My practice extends beyond my studio work into live portraiture, events and creative education. I create live portraits for weddings and private occasions, while also teaching drawing and painting and hosting Eastern-inspired creative workshops.
These experiences allow me to bring art into more personal, social and participatory spaces.
Live Portrait Wedding
A live portrait wedding blends the spontaneity of celebration with the craft of fine art. During key moments—first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, first dance—an artist captures the couple in real time on canvas or paper, creating a one-of-a-kind portrait that becomes a living, evolving keepsake.
Commission Work — Services
I create custom visual and creative projects for music albums, fashion brands, storybooks, film concept setups, and portraits. Below is a clear breakdown of services, typical deliverables, timelines, and starting prices. All projects are quoted individually; these are baseline estimates to help you plan.

Teaching
Group Workshops: Small groups (6–12 participants) for a collaborative, social learning experience. Each session includes demonstrations, guided practice, and time for personalized feedback.
1:1 Private Lessons: Tailored instruction focused on your goals—foundational skills, portfolio development, or a specific project. Pace and curriculum customized to your level.
