Visual Art – Calgary

My goal is to radiate joy and happiness through each one of my creations. At a young age, I found my love of art by drawing with my family. While in school, I would only dabble in my creative side during school art projects or to create gifts for friends and families. This ranged from painted cards, drawings, and scrapbooking. After graduating with a Bachelor of Nursing Degree, I found more time to get back into my love of art and pursue my favorite hobby. I decided to make an Instagram account under the name ‘lko.art’ about two years ago to showcase my creations. Recently the majority of my pieces have involved watercolor paintings and mixed media work. However, I have worked with other different mediums in the past such as graphite and prismacolor. Most of my work currently consists of scenery pieces, nature, and Disney characters. I am still experimenting with different techniques and finding my unique style. As I continue to be inspired and create, I hope to learn and grow in my artistic ability and bring happiness to those who see my work.
