FROM THE ARTIST
"I’M A MINIMALIST BY HEART BUT A MAXIMALIST BY NATURE AND MY ART GREATLY REFLECTS THAT. I’M INSPIRED BY THE OPULENCE OF OUR ENVIRONMENTS, BOTH NATURAL AND CONSTRUCTED AND INTOXICATED WITH THE HUMAN FORM. EACH PIECE DEMONSTRATES MY JOURNEY TO BALANCE BETWEEN my TWO contrasting IDENTITIES.
