Artistic approach
The goal of my art is resonate with people. We all feel and struggle. The highs and the lows of what I see and feel. The contrast of colour in nature or the mood interpretation in abstract. The detail captured by pencil. The saturation of acrylic paint. I strive to make that connection with people through my art.
