Art has allowed me to dip my brush into my soul and paint away my fantasies. The imaginary places and dreams that I express on the canvas permit me to lose myself and fulfil my inner longings by bringing them alive in a painting.
My art also combines challenging concepts that give me a sense of achievement when done. Colour is also my powerful symbolism as it reflects my happy persona and my ideal world imagery.
