Artist Statement 

As an artist, I'm very colourful. I enjoy using a wide range of colours without limitations. I love creating colourful artwork because without colours the world would be such a dull place. Colours can be used to express emotion whether its sadness or happiness and that to me is beautiful. I also enjoy depicting emotions through my paintings, mainly happiness. I believe emotions bring the images to life. Finally, I love to be inspired by nature and structure. This is because I love the breathe ability of nature and at the same time the sharp lines and edges of buildings.
