Artist Statement

A journey begun is one to be filled with new emotions and adventures,

new risks and heightened senses.

My work will carry you on a voyage to new destinations, its

people and their cultures.

The use of different mediums reflects not only various interpretations on

how I see my surroundings,

but also my being passionate about keeping a harmonious

balance with it.

I want to provoke your mind with my paintings, sculptures, folk art, and drawings.

My palette is full of vibrant colors

and the hues and light translate onto the canvas in imaginative ways.

I create pieces that are a combination of

different media instead ofone element. When using one pure form,

the canvas is leaden with it.

Recycled and found objects are the building materials and backbone

of my sculptures and folk art.

The resemblance to wood-carving prints and the use of water color pencils

are the tools behind my ink-drawings.

Most of my paintings are enhanced with vintage frames, and many are recycled wood panels of various kinds.

Every piece tells a story, every stitch and stroke

conveys my passion.

Let your imagination lead you...............
