Artistic Expression
“I have been fortunate to live a life in art. I enjoy developing technical prowess with all kinds of materials. My work combines diverse materials like metal cloth (metal mesh), ceramic, wood, fabric, illustration board, and paint on various surfaces. And since the digital revolution I have embraced tools like Adobe Photoshop.
I draw inspiration from many sources: the human figure, both natural and man-made landscapes, and abstract expressions all inform my work.”
