Painting, reading, cooking, yoga and pilates
During my free time I enjoy painting! Acrylics are my favorite medium but I also enjoy digital illustration in my iPad using Procreate when I need a break from the canvas. When I'm not painting I usually find myself curled in my couch reading a good book, cooking or exploring new restaurants in the culturally-diverse city of Los Angeles, or, stretching my mat for a short yoga or pilates practice :)
