ARTIST STATEMENT
Through my paintings, I want to reflect stories of life and travel. Nature, glimpses of landscapes, glimpses of memory and countries of the world, are my subjects. They celebrate freedom to explore life and places freely, and to express impressions without censure. Often re-creating my fondest moments, each painting tells a story of the spirit of play; sharing the opportunity to be amazed by the little things life and nature have to offer. My goal is to portray feelings of freedom, peace and serenity where human rights can be enjoyed by all.
