I am a visual artist, illustrator and designer working across painting, digital illustration and creative storytelling. Through Draw Me Close Illustrations, I make work that holds feeling — bold in colour, intimate in subject and rooted in the stories we inherit, remember and reimagine.
Born in Uganda and raised in Europe, I grew up between cultures, languages and ways of seeing. That in-between space shapes my practice. My work explores identity, ancestry, belonging and the quiet emotional histories carried in the body, the home and the imagination.
Colour is central to how I communicate. In my paintings, it becomes tactile and spiritual — a way to express joy, grief, tenderness, defiance and repair. I am drawn to texture, gesture and contrast: the visible evidence of a hand, a thought, a feeling becoming form.
My practice moves between traditional painting, illustration and design, but the intention remains the same: to create images that make people feel seen, remembered and less alone. Whether working on canvas, digitally or through commissioned projects, I am interested in art as a space for healing, connection and honest self-recognition.
Draw Me Close is an invitation to come nearer — to the work, to memory, and to the parts of ourselves that deserve to be held with care.
