My art is inspired by what I see in my daily life. The external image is the catalyst for developing my personal inspiration. Then I transform it with my imagination, striving to make the final image one that will replicate the feelings of wonder and pleasure that I experienced when I first saw my idea. I draw and paint both from direct observation and my internal vision, combining these experiences in the finished work.
