My journey as an artist began long before I ever called it a career. From childhood, creativity flowed instinctively, transforming notebooks, walls, and even my mother’s hands into canvases. Henna was a constant presence, and with my mother’s mentor’s guidance I learned to sketch, first with simple subject like flowers. By the time I was a pre-teen, my parents recognized my passion and arranged formal training in sketching and fine art. Creativity also lived in the everyday—handmade greeting cards, chalkboard calligraphy, and flourishes that brought beauty into ordinary and celebratory moments.

In high school, I began sharing my art more publicly. I launched The Painted Paradise on Instagram, received commissions for portraits, and even taught summer workshops for children and adults. By the age of seventeen, my work was featured in a media interview, and I knew I wanted to pursue art professionally.

I was accepted into the Communication Design program at the National Institute of Fashion Technology, where I explored photography, graphic design, brand identity, and visual storytelling. Collaborating with fashion and lifestyle brands, I worked on product photography, hand-painted motifs, and storyboard illustrations for handicraft studios. A defining discovery was my love for printed materials—designing invitations, packaging, and stationery that combined artistry with function.

When COVID-19 struck, I adapted quickly, shifting to digital illustration and creating bespoke e-invitations and wedding stationery. Between 2020 and 2022, I expanded my client base globally, refining my style while blending traditional artistry with new mediums.

In preparation for relocating to the United States, I completed an intensive training program at an art center in Virginia, refining both technical and creative skills. Around the same time, I designed my own multi-event wedding—from stationery and décor to styling and details—treating it as a comprehensive artistic project.

Once settled in Baltimore with my husband, I relaunched my creative practice with a new focus. Starting with henna booths and cultural events, I quickly built connections that led to collaborations, workshops, and live painting projects. I participated in MICA’s Community Art Collaborative program (americorps) , was selected as a mentee for the Brush Mural Fest, and painted at the Baltimore Convention Center. I also partnered with institutions including the Baltimore Museum of Art, Enoch Pratt Library, Lexington Market, and Creative Alliance to lead workshops like Mindful Mandalas, Turmeric Tints, and Henna-Inspired Home Décor. Invitations to speak at schools and mentor young artists deepened my role in community engagement.

In 2024, I partnered with Johns Hopkins University to provide custom guest illustrations at a few of their programs. Watching participants light up as they received personalized artwork made me realize the impact of live illustration—and its potential to elevate larger celebrations.

Today, my work specializes in luxury event artistry: bespoke stationery suites, live event painting, and custom guest illustrations. Each piece is more than a product—it is an experience.

From hand-painted invitations and immersive ceremony paintings to curated packaging with wax seals, dried florals, and handwritten notes, every detail reflects the story of the couple or client.
