“Being able to create, has always been my driver in life. My best works are inspired by the places I’ve been and the people I meet. The energy I gain from these places or people, is my muse. When I have an authentic experience, it becomes a personal memory that I can then translate to canvas and it often becomes a ‘personal memory or sentiment’ for others as well. I’m more about creating Art pieces that are meaningful and thought provoking. I try to consider the aesthetics and tonal attributes – as well as the quality of finish. My ‘knitting’ is in the detail – it takes time and I think this is appreciated by my clients. Above all – when I paint with joy, it flows through my brushes and there is nothing more fulfilling to me, than to share my delight with others."
