Artist Statement:
“Creating art is always an adventure for me as a new work is a new
experience for me.My process usually begins with my observation
of a model from nature.This observation process connects me with
my subject and is the basis for the structure of the composition.
Consideration is given to the objective and subjective natures and
application of appropriate techniques that support the design of the
piece.The end product maintains its’ unique identity and the journey
contains my passion.”
