ARTISTS STATEMENT-

“For me, art is not just picking up good brushes, paints, and start painting. Art is worship, dedication, to feel want you are painting is true art. Being a professional physiotherapist it was very tough for me to continue my first and last passion PAINTING but still I am doing that is the best thing. At school, the only class I really paid any attention in was art. I simply wasn’t interested in anything else and I think my obsession with depicting the monotony of the workplace and workforce started there… My influences are first and foremost everything I see, feel and experience, but I’ve always loved old people, children, and the beauty of nature. As an artist, I work hard to develop paintings that speak both to me and to others.”
