Artists Statement

“Art and creating, to me, is much like breathing. It is something I cannot live without. I enjoy tapping into flow states of pure free uninhibited creativity, and live in admiration of light, shadows and nature. I choose to see beauty in everything and everyone.

Drawing, painting, sculpting. I believe in myself, can’t be anyone else. Art is my religion. I don’t need to carry a gun or detonate a bomb to prove it”.
