My goal is to share the beauty of ordinary objects, the harmony of nature and the pleasure of simple humanity through my work.
The subjects that inspire me come from every day activities that bring us joy and warm our hearts such as hanging the laundry, watching the sunset while driving home or finding different animal shapes in the clouds.
With no formal training, I am not afraid of using colors and think outside of the box until I achieves something that can truly represent my chosen forms and meanings.
