"My art is open for reflection and interpretation, see it from your angle, with your own eye, it might express your own story. Every piece I painted tells a very personal story of mine, reflects a deep memory or dream.
​
I find beauty in the physical form in stillness and in motion. My enthusiasm for dancing, story telling and culture seeps through my work.
​
I hope we can relate through my art."
