Artist Statement

I strongly influenced by fashion, music, photography, movies and people. My work is about connections that human beings make or don’t make through language, expression, emotions, and desires. Exploring how we communicate, accept, or reject these connections to form relationships is a theme throughout my work... I focus on human figure, as it is often the vehicle which relays the connection. Portraits are a predominant part of my work as I am fascinated and challenged by mostly subtle expression on the faces or body language.

My work has seen in Tokyo, New York, Barcelona, Milan, Canada,Texas and UK for Digital Art Showcases and Art Fairs. I was a selected artist for Charity Art Auction - Doctors Without Borders at the Blenheim Palace in Oxford, UK in 2015…” As Seen In British Vogue” - 2016 February Edition & June - Special Centenary Issue…
