STATEMENT
I have used art as a release of emotion following a family bereavement in 2019.
Creating is an urge that comes naturally and which i feel compelled to do.
I get immense pleasure from creating images from source photos of places I enjoyed visiting, I always like to transpose the image according to how I see it working best in the composition and for my style
