Artist Statement:
Art is a universal language that transmits ideas without the unseen borders of audio or written communication. I am influenced by human behavior, our interaction with each other and our greater purpose. Reference is often drawn from a wide range of cultural sources & time periods. Music, literature, ancient cultures,myth and spirituality are my main inspirations while aiming to produce work which is widely relateable and will retain visual relevance despite the year it is being viewed.
