Artist’s Statement
I like to think of my work as original in its intent, with a fondness for line and texture, exploring different mediums and media. For me, creating art has always been a celebration of self expression, and I have a continuing love affair with both the joy and burden of this endless fascination.
I find there is still tremendous satisfaction in the act of drawing. Watching something materialise on a sheet of paper or blank canvas. There is something special about this act which draws me back time and time again. I’m curious about where this will lead.
