Series of gouache landscape and nature paintings — from glowing desert arches and red rock mountains, to ocean waves, rainy nights, wildflowers, cacti, and sunflowers. Each painting explores natural forms, bold colors, and atmospheric textures, blending fine art and illustration. This collection is part of my portfolio focusing on landscape painting, botanical art, and contemporary gouache illustration.

Series of floral line art illustrations — hand-drawn botanical ink drawings featuring cosmos, daisies, coneflowers, pansies, daffodils, and poppies. Each flower study explores delicate petal textures, natural forms, and the elegance of black and white linework. These botanical ink artworks are part of my portfolio focused on detailed floral illustration, combining fine art drawing with contemporary botanical themes.

Watercolour paintings of natural landscapes, nature, birds, countryside homes and a cathedral. Done sometime between 2010 to 2014, mixed media between Chinese paints, watercolour, and cheap poster paints. Referenced mainly digital stock photos and some were studies of master painters (Sorry, I don't remember who)

Pen and marker cartoon drawings. Cartoons were not created originally by me, I had simply imitated an illustrator called Irvin Ranada to study his style and lines. It was done sometime between 2010 and 2014 using black pens and markers from the local bookstore.
