WHY ART?
I create Art because it takes me away from my everyday life. It lets me focus on the task at hand and brings me into a meditative state. When I'm creating art, time stops and all my worries and anxieties disappear. Creating brings me joy and I find relief in this practice mentally and spiritually. I am also very fascinated by the ability to create something that has never been created before and that's what makes original art so original. It can never be replicated again and that is so beautiful!
WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR INSPIRATION?
I find my inspiration through every day life and mostly through my own emotions and what I am going through at the time. I use art to express myself and I am inspired by all the joys and sadness that life can bring. I am also very passionate about meditation and I find myself getting most inspired after a meditation session. I feel more calm and at ease and able to think more clearly.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I love bright and vibrant colours. I also enjoy painting with a lot of heavy texture to create art you can actually touch. All my paintings start and end with the palette knife. My art is about connecting with people. I am an extremely emotive painter and illustrator who feels most inspired when I am going through something, whether they are positive or negative emotions. I use art to express myself and as a way to release those emotions. Lastly, I am inspired by the fact that I can create these pieces that will outlive my lifetime and inspire and heal others through my creations.
