ARTIST STATEMENT

My art is a manifestation of freedom mirroring my emotions and mood at the time of creation. I find the most joy creating colorful abstract shapes that captivate the viewer's attention. When I immerse myself in the process of creating art, I become united with the artwork. So engrossed am I in the piece that the outside world fades away and I enter a creative zone where only the art exists.
