Artist’s statement
I have always felt a special connection with and appreciation of animals, and I enjoy combining my creativity and love for creatures in my pieces. Through vibrant colors and whimsical compositions, I believe my paintings come to life and, hopefully, bring a smile to your face. Whether it is experimenting with different mediums or using unexpected color choices, I hope to engage and take you to a world of imagination and fun.
