An artist wearing a gray jacket and black hat standing by a calm lake with arms raised, facing snow-covered mountains and cloudy sky, with the lake reflecting the landscape.

With a focus on hand-drawn craftsmanship, her process values the imperfections that make each creation alive.

Ink and watercolor build on that foundation, oil adds weight and warmth, and digital design refines what the hand has begun. Each medium offers its own way of capturing the world.

Lavinia Ainsel is a Romanian-American artist and designer based in the United States.
