About Me
Hey ! Thank you for stopping by and checking out my work ! 🦋A little bit about me:
I’ve been an artist for forever and I started my digital journey since 2015. Since 2019, I studied in two different art schools
—
🖌️ The first one was focused on strengthening my observation skills and artistic versatility, the goal was to be able to draw everything, in every kind of art style.
🎮 The second one was centered on the japanese art industry, where I learned how to manage long-term projects both independently and in teams, often working alongside other artists and programmers to create game prototypes.
—
After graduating, I moved to Japan to pursue work opportunities. However, due to financial and personal challenges, I eventually had to come back to France.
—
Since my return in March 2024, I’ve been working as a freelance artist. I participate in conventions, share my work and process on Instagram and Twitch, while helping others on my Discord server!
Since this date, I've created my own business and merch to sell, as well as taking commissions, both from professionals and particulars.
—
Outside of my freelance and business work, I stay very busy!🎨 I work as a receptionist in two art galleries. I'm advising clients for art purchases, search for new artworks to add in our collection, learn about new local artists and share my knowlegde with passionate people willing to learn and practice art.
📚 I teach plastic and manga art in an specialized school for teens who already view it as more than a hobby and who wish to pursue art as a career. I help them in building their portfolio before entering art schools.
