Hello! I am an abstract mixed media and textures artist and I love painting abstract florals. I love to paint with raw imperfections, going about it without a plan and let the raw strokes find their own shapes on the canvas. And each of them is named with a beautiful name to give it a human-like presence which lives with you to add some blooms to your life.
