Creativity is my lifeblood. I love and live to make life beautiful, therefore I am an artist.

In my quest to find the perfect cover artwork to match the heart of my poetry book I discovered a passion for painting.

I have created a way of making art which I call “Paper Quilting”
The best way to describe it is painted collage art.
I use these watercolor ink based brush markers to create abstract paintings which I cut up into geometric shapes.
These pieces are puzzled together and glued onto a canvas to reveal some unique art.

The images are like colorful optical illusions.

My collection of acrylic pours that I call Fluid Expression.
The art is created without the use of paint brushes. Interesting, colourful, psychedelic landscapes are shaped by mixing paint with additives, which are poured on the canvas and manipulated through various techniques.

Another art form I created is called Infinite Art.
During the process of making art I take close up pictures.
I use these images to create digital art. I do this by multiplying the image symmetrically, mirror images up/ down/ left/ right.
Each picture makes 4 images by rotating and flipping them. The picture can be cropped and the process can be repeated over and over...
