I am a self-taught artist, inspired by life. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. And I believe that to be true.
I define my work as an opinion to express, which is created to invoke the thoughts, emotions and impression of the viewer. Because art is subjective, I create so the viewer can effortlessly engage with the art. I create original abstract, expression, modern, realism and contemporary works of art.
