CREATIVE JOURNEY
Unveiling My Inspiration
I enjoy traveling and taking small adventures with my family. These excursions into the unknown give me a sense of freedom. That gives me the inspiration for my artwork, my landscapes especially. For my portraits I portray strong people overcoming adversity, freeing themselves from the trials they are under.
