Profile

“I am fascinated by the intricate visual manifestations and patterns of life:

People, plants, animals, the elements, rocks, landscapes,... their energy, their moods in a particular moment.

In my work I draw “snap shots” of these moods. Filtered through my own experience , I try to evoke these feelings and communicate that energy to the viewer.”
