Artist Statement

“After a long hiatus, I regained the inspiration to rediscover my love for painting. My work is a result of pouring out my heart onto canvas; I focus only on the emotions I am trying to portray and let the paint direct me where to go. My style and art are continually changing and evolving. Love texture, bright colours, and using many materials besides just paint and canvas ”
