Artist’s Statement
I think my works have a ‘feel-good factor’ and people buy them because they make them feel happy and alive! I absolutely love and am passionate about what I do; I’m always changing and evolving. I have always prided myself in being an innovator not an imitator and create a quality product at a reasonable price that is always appreciating in value. I like to keep my work diverse so that there is always something for everyone. I NEVER set out to be Rembrandt and I never take myself too seriously!
