Creating art is not a choice for me... It is my way of interpreting and understanding my relationship with the world.

I create to understand my own emotions and reactions to the world. It’s a way of slowing things down, of taking snapshots of my thoughts, dreams and experiences, and looking at them in their own right without judgment or attempts to change the spirit in which they were born. My work largely examines human relationships, both mental and physical; why we sometimes let fade the most enriching and keep ourselves bound to the ones that harm.

Visual manifestations of emotion and physical reaction - Portraits of the strain created in the body when and heart and mind disagree, the freedom of movement in joy and hope, the quiet stillness of contemplation, the breadth and stretching of reaching for dreams, or the taut despair of loneliness.

Ultimately my work is about finding the light by accepting the shadows. Reaching peace by experiencing chaos.
