Artist Statement:
Painting for me is like playing a jazz instrument. I can express my emotions and thoughts about life.
My work infuses both bright and dark realities and pairs those truths with the fantasy of frozen moments.

" Art is like taking a breath of fresh air, without it my life would be polluted.

Studied Bachelor of Graphic Design at American InterContinental University Atlanta
