The Story:

Let’s start at the beginning: painting followed me from early on. I loved drawing everything around me it was my anchor point.

 

I did an apprenticeship as a pharmist, this is where I got the passion for doing Make-up. That’s when I got a degree as a make-up artist. While I visited my brother at a children’s home in Romania the desire to work as a social worker developed. So, I got a bachelor as a social worker. After working in different places with different people. I noticed that I missed the creative work. Because I love the sound of my pencil on the paper. I’ve missed the feeling of being in the flow and forgetting the time and everything around me.

 

Following my devotion, I went to research how I could express my creativity. By luck I landed on Bonnie Christine's website and I recognized my calling. There I saw her membership and spontaneously signed up. Later, I attended her Immersion course where I got deeper insights into Adobe Illustrator.

 

The name ella-artwork came from letters of my name plus what I do. With ella I associate life, vibrancy, energy, beauty and joy of life. 

 

In various courses, I have learned Adobe programs, such as Photoshop and Indesign, as well as digitizing and deepened these self-taught. Following this calling I am currently building up my self-employment. I passed the further education as a coach, where I've gotten to know the Enneagram and different techniques to find solutions together with the clients.
