Students Globally: > 10,720

I am a professional watercolor artist with more than 10 years of experience and a full-time traveler.

I've been living in South-East Asia as my home base and traveling across the world since 2014. It is my passion and a great source of inspiration for my art! Adventures, people, and places I've experienced became my story in watercolor.

Exhibited in Vietnam.
A finalist and special award winner of the international watercolor competition "Step by Step".
A co-founder of an online academy of watercolor - Learn Watercolors. 100+ online lessons and new courses every month.

While living abroad I have been hosting art events across Asia and weekly watercolor workshops in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Teaching face to face and privately gave me lots of insight on what and how to explain to beginners so that they succeed in watercolor. And that's what I'd love to share with you too!
