STATEMENT
In my art I like to capture the beauty seen in a change of people, objects and form. Capturing expressions of the moment to involve the spectator as much as I am involved in creating the piece. Getting inspired mostly by nature and surrounding environment with all these great people around me is a blessing. Loving life for its simplicity and enjoying every possible moment to the fullest. Don’t look for great life, live it
