Artist statement “ I paint intuitively in order to find a connection with my subject and express my vision with colours and techniques using my own signature style to acquire the desired outcome. Whether it is a famous person or iconic architecture, I choose my subject by whether it captures my imagination as well as the passion I feel I can bring to the canvas. Before I started to paint I could never have imagined how the art world would become such a precious and important part of my life, and I love the creative process that each painting demands from me. ”
