I was born with the gift to create. The spirits gave me Dyslexia so that I would see and interpret the world in a different way. The spirits gave me ailments that not only helped me to appreciate life but also gave me the courage and strength to move through any obstacle.
My creative spirit is LIMITLESS. I do not limit myself to just one creative output, as I feel it is impossible to express myself purely through just one medium. I feel my work is a raw, unencumbered and immediate emotional response to the world around me, from the past to the present and my thoughts and dreams of the future. My creativity doesn’t just begin and end in my studio; I find myself inspired every day, by practically everything. I haven’t forgotten how to tap into that childlike wonderment and I think that helps me to see and feel things with great sensitivity. I then feel free to create with a genuine response.
