Having lived in Spain and later the Canary Islands from the age of 11, moving to the Netherlands was quite a culture shock. Rules, regulations and grey clouds don't exist in the Canary Islands.

When asked the question Where do you come from? I struggle to come up with a real answer, so apparently this makes me a TCK (third culture kid).

Most of the time you can find me with a good cup of tea, some toast and busy with some artistic idea, whether it's teaching, drawing or writing.

Over the last few years I have managed to combine my creativity and passions into 2 ventures that I love and together they are what is know as "The Bai Rose Fusion"

In Indian the word 'bai' is a polite form of address for a woman, my name derives itself from the word rose and orange roses represent enthusiasm and energy. Two words which I can't think better to represent me and who I am and what I do.

The Bai Rose FUSION:

"Bai Rose Designs" : Website for my artwork, designs and photos and an outlet for my creative flair. My upcycled items and illustrations can be purchased here or made to order

"The Bai Rose Study Room": English and Spanish lessons, Planning and Study skills through innovative teaching methods and sketchnoting. Coaching and Mentoring.

“A rose is a rose is a rose.”

– Gertrude Stein
