Writing & Publishing
I’m the author of The Amazing Adventures of Sisi the Mouse, a heartwarming illustrated chapter book for children and families. It’s a story about courage, resilience and finding your way back home. The book is dedicated to my late mother, and filled with tributes to cherished people and places.
I’m also the founder of Enthusiasts of Life, an independent publishing and media brand grounded in the belief that stories have the power to heal, connect, and transform. Through books, written features, interviews and video content, we aim to spark curiosity, joy, and courage in every story shared.
My journey into publishing has been shaped by years of experience in editorial work, where I managed and produced over 250 issues of B2B and B2C magazines, peer-reviewed journals, and custom content projects. Though my professional background has been in the corporate world, my current work is much more personal and fulfilling. Now, storytelling is about heart and intention—creating stories that matter, sharing voices that need to be heard, and building a platform for stories that inspire courage and authenticity.

Textured Art
While words might be my first love, I also find immense joy in visual arts, particularly through texture. Through my texture art, I explore themes of sunlight, nature, and the intricacies of life, as well as celestial bodies and the vastness of the Universe. Just as my stories evoke emotions and connections, my art does the same, by inviting you to explore the contrast, duality, and unity that exists both within us and in the world around us.
At the foundation of my artwork is texture, which sets the tone for the colors and finishes. I sculpt my textures using plaster or silica-based compounds, layering them onto reclaimed or upcycled canvases and boards. Framing each piece myself, I use repurposed materials whenever possible, transforming discarded or unwanted objects into something inspiring and meaningful. It brings me immense joy to transform discarded or unwanted pieces into into inspiring art.
Like the stories I write, my art is about connection and experience. Each piece invites you to touch, feel, and experience the narrative in a uniquely tactile way, whether it’s the quiet whisper of a natural element or the bold statement of duality and contrast.

Inspiring Work
Ania, we hung the paintings on Thursday night, so we’ve had a full day of changing light. They look wonderful in each setting.
This morning, with the sunlight, I found them quite refreshing and inspiring.
