Freedom on canvas, making a difference in the real world.
Painting is a space of freedom for me, where I create according to what I feel in the moment. My work brings together two worlds — female portraits filled with emotion and the wildness of nature. I believe that the story of a painting does not have to end on the canvas, which is why, with selected animal paintings, I connect their sale with supporting organizations that protect endangered species.
For those who cannot defend themselves
Support for leopards and the protection of their habitat
Leopards are among the fascinating yet endangered big cats whose survival is increasingly affected by habitat loss and conflicts with humans. The Cape Leopard Trust has long been dedicated to their research, landscape conservation, and finding ways to enable the coexistence of wildlife and humans.
From the sale of this painting, I will donate 10% to this organization to create tangible support for the protection of leopards and their natural habitat.
Support for tigers and their free wilderness
The tiger is a symbol of strength and freedom. Yet its natural habitat is constantly disappearing due to deforestation and human activity. Without vast territories, it cannot live the way it was meant to.
Rainforest Rescue protects threatened rainforests and purchases natural areas before they are lost to logging and other forms of destruction.
From the sale of this painting, I will donate 15% to Rainforest Rescue to help protect the places where tigers can continue to live freely.
Support for endangered rhinos
Rhinos are among the most endangered animals in the world. Hundreds die every year due to poaching. Save the Rhino International has been working to protect rhinos in Africa and Asia since 1992.I will donate 15% of the sale of this painting to the organization.
Supporting Farm Animals
Farm animals often live in conditions that do not allow them to meet their natural needs or live with dignity. Farm Sanctuary has been rescuing animals from factory farms and providing them with a safe home since 1986.
I will donate $100 from the sale of this painting to Farm Sanctuary to support the care of rescued farm animals.
A series of paintings
One's Own Space
One's own space is not a place on a map. It is a state of mind and a transformation we go through when we decide to live authentically.
At first, we find ourselves at a crossroads. With our eyes closed and weighed down by the past, we search for the courage to overcome our own fears. Then comes the moment when we allow ourselves to believe, even though we do not yet know the outcome.
Then comes the turning point. We allow the light to touch us and stop hiding from the past and from ourselves. With courage, we reclaim our right to happiness.
Gradually, peace arrives. A state of safety and presence where there is no longer a need to build defenses or remain constantly on guard. A place where we can simply be.
And it is from this inner wholeness that space emerges for a partnership that does not take away our individuality, but expands it. For a closeness in which we do not have to lose ourselves.
It is no longer just my story. Now it is about us. About a closeness that gives freedom.

Between Innocence and Guilt
Two portraits capture the inner conflict between innocence and guilt — two sides of the same person. One looks away, the other looks directly ahead. One holds on to sensitivity, while the other takes responsibility. Together, they tell the story of a person who has been shaped by experience yet remained true to themselves. Not perfect, but honest. Not without flaws, but without running from themselves.
Innocent
Innocent here does not mean unmarked. It means preserved sensitivity, the ability to perceive and feel despite the traces that remain.
Guilty
She represents an awareness of her own mistakes and the acceptance of their consequences at the moment when a person stops looking for excuses and begins to stand for themselves.
Certificate of authenticity
I am including a certificate of authenticity with the purchase of the painting.
