Art Philosophy: "Art and life are interwoven, a tapestry of visual storytelling. Every person on this planet connects in some way with art, and has done so since the beginning of time. My desire to create came to me as a young child; I stated at that time that I was going to be an artist. I enjoy colour and design and telling a visual story. Through my art I have been able to connect with my heritage and give back to my ancestral family. I don't know where my journey will take me but I am always open to new ideas and willing to push the boundaries. The statement I made as a child is with me and inspires me to create."
