ART


As a multidisciplinary artist, I have always been driven by an innate desire to express myself through various forms of creative outlets. My journey has been a continuous exploration of the diverse facets of art, allowing me to hone my skills and develop a unique artistic voice that resonates with both myself and those who experience my work.

My passion for art and design stems from a deep-rooted belief that creativity is a powerful tool for communication, capable of transcending barriers and connecting people on an emotional level. Throughout my career, I have sought to harness this power, employing a wide array of mediums and techniques to create visually captivating and thought-provoking pieces.

From my evocative paintings and intricate illustrations to my compelling graphic design work, every piece I create embodies my distinct artistic vision and dedication to my craft. My art serves as a reflection of my curiosity, my experiences, and my perspective on the world, allowing me to share my innermost thoughts and emotions with others in a tangible form.

In addition to creating art, I also take immense pride in inspiring others and fostering a love for creativity within them. As an educator and mentor, I am committed to sharing my knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm for art and design with the next generation of creative minds. Through workshops, presentations, and one-on-one mentoring, I strive to ignite the spark of artistic expression in others, empowering them to discover their own unique talents and unlock their full potential.

In essence, my journey as an artist is a celebration of the power of creativity, a testament to the impact it can have on individuals and communities alike. By pursuing my passion for art and sharing it with others, I hope to contribute to a vibrant and inspiring world, one brushstroke or design element at a time.

Oxford International Art Fair

FEBRUARY 26-28, 2016

The recent exhibition of the Oxford International Art Fair took place on February 26-28 and was attended by over 6,000 visitors and featured the artwork of 150 artists from 26 countries. I consider myself fortunate to have been among this selected group of artists that exhibited at the show. OIAF2016 took place at the Oxford Town Hall which is located in the heart and center of Oxford, England. Upon arrival to the event, one was greeted by a grand staircase with vaulted ceilings, atop of which stood a modern, monolithic style marquee showcasing a list of the exhibiting artists and sponsors. Inside, an array of artwork was on display against a backdrop of Gothic Architecture. This historic setting and the world-class art that was on display all made for a very fun and chic event which was enjoyed by the public, art industry, participants and volunteers. I've always felt that one of the higher purposes of art is to advance culture. To that end, this event certainly made a nice contribution.
