Creations at a glance
Over the years, I have experimented with painting, photography, graphic design, pottery, metal work, and many more. Realizing I could combine all, as well as my other sources of inspiration, through mixed media art, began a most passionate love affair and led to some of my most cherished pieces.
Amazing is the thrill of creating a harmonious powerful marriage of words, images, textures, and objects that touches and moves so many senses.
Amazing is the gratification of watching it become a storyteller in its own right.
Amazing... is the power of art.
