Artavi Studio began with a birthday gift and a wagging tail. During the summer of 2025 my sister surprised me with an acrylic paint set, and something clicked when I painted this nameless planet and its dark moon, my first painting, at the age of 45. What started as playful experimentation quickly grew into a passion for capturing the wonder of space, the mesmerizing flow of acrylic pours, and the soulful charm of dogs, especially my muse and soul-dog, Tavi. His presence, personality, and paws are woven into the heart of this studio.

Named after the heart of it all, Art and Tavi, Artavi Studio is a space where creativity meets connection. I'm still new to painting, and every brushstroke is part of a journey; one of learning, exploring, and growing. Here, I share not just the pieces I deem perfect, but the imperfect ones too—the experiments, the near-misses, and the quiet victories. This site is my way of inviting you on that adventure, offering original pieces, prints, and commissions that reflect not just where I am, but where I'm headed.

Whether you're here to browse, buy, or simply witness the evolution, thank you for being part of the story.
