WELCOME TO LINLIART

Realistic animal art, full of heart.

Science taught me how to observe. Research taught me patience. Art gave those qualities a completely new purpose.

For 15 years, I thought science was my life story. Then at 36, I discovered a completely unexpected one — art. Today I bring the patience, precision and curiosity of a researcher to realistic colored-pencil drawings of the animals I love, especially babies and families.

Each piece is built slowly, layer by layer, often for over 30 hours, to capture the tiniest details. LinLiArt is my new beginning — proof that it's never too late to discover a new part of yourself.

THE ART COLLECTION

Meet the animals.

From a soulful gaze to the softness of a baby’s fur — each drawing is made by hand, one patient layer at a time.

03 / EXPLORING COLLECTION

Always exploring.

A growing corner for new subjects, ideas and techniques as my artistic journey evolves. Every new drawing teaches me something about art — and about myself.

My first independent baby raccoon took 63 hours to bring to life, and many more little faces are on their way.

MORE THAN A REALISTIC DRAWING

A memory, a personality, a piece of their story.

What I love most is capturing what makes an animal unmistakably itself: the softness of a baby, a familiar expression, a slightly crooked ear, the markings you know by heart. If there's an animal or memory you'd love to turn into a one-of-a-kind piece of art, I would love to create it with you.
