ARTIST STATEMENT

My art is a visceral response to the world's overlooked beauty - the poetry in mundane tasks, the dance of shapes, hues, and layers. Through abstract expressionism, I distil these elements into emotive compositions.

There's something about the process that puts me in a state of flow where I can let go of life's distractions and just be. Each stroke is an exploration of raw emotion guided by intuition and spontaneity. I capture the essence of fleeting moments, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the energy and rhythm of my creations.

By embracing the ordinary and elevating it to the extraordinary, I aim to ignite a sense of wonder and connection in those who engage with my work. My creativity comes from the heart with my unique vision; I hope to inspire others to see the world around them in a new and exciting light.

"When you teach what you love and share what you know, you open the eyes, minds, hearts, and souls to unexplored worlds."
