ARTIST’S STATEMENT

In my art I mostly use a combination of mixed media to achieve the abstract effect. I love and enjoy experimenting with various techniques and try to refrain from limiting my creativity to brush strokes and just canvas. I believe there is beauty in everything and a story to tell in every painting and the best way to bring that forward is staying true to my creativity and that means expressing my creativity through my art.
