ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Each of my works is a journey into the realm of my imagination, where my fascination with the cycles of nature and the discoveries of science come in close contact with my subconscious. Working intuitively, I explore the terrain of the paper through the interaction of pigment, line, repetition, mark making, collage and unexpected surprises.
