My name is Charina Kilayko Claridad, creator and artist behind Flora & Fauna Prints.

​

My profession in the creative field began in interior design. Prior to this and for as long as I can remember, I always had an interest in arts and crafts.

 

Watercolor was a recent endeavor I took up at the beginning of 2021 when I had an interest to express my love of art through this medium. It was a practice that began in the late evenings, the time of the day when my son would be fast asleep and I could study painting continuously through online courses and exercises that honed my skills. I also found that most of the subjects that I loved to paint were nature -- the most abundant source of inspiration. From then on, my interest and curiosity for both the medium and subject has only grown more.

​

Flora & Fauna Prints is the small business venture I decided to set up as I was inspired to share my watercolor art through note cards and prints. 

​

I hope my work inspires you as well.
