Painting, Abstract, Mixed Media, Acrylic, Charcoal, Abstract expressionism, Contemporary
I love the spontaneous playful feeling when I paint, combining painting with gestural marks, movement, texture and colour.
My work remains abstract, relying on the viewer to make a connection. Like the world around us, perfection is not the key focus behind my art but the beauty of not knowing the finale outcome is what inspires me. I approach each piece of work with a palette of colours, and a feeling that wants to be expanded upon and when I paint it is true freedom. Sometimes that takes me through many twists and turns and ends with beautiful self-discovery that I wishes to share with you!
Original art, Commissions.
I have worked mostly on commissions and I am now venturing to bring my artwork to the public, I hope you will share this journey with me.
