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.”
