About me
Repeated life-changing experiences in the wild have changed my perception of nature and transformed my artistry. Made of scales, feathers, fur and bones, my creations illustrate the wealth of nature while reminding of the peril it faces.
The animals that I depict are the spirits of a higher, mesmerizing nature, coming together to evoke deep emotions and trigger a contemplative reflection in the viewer’s mind on nature and our agency to it.
For more details on my artistic journey, see my resume below and you are always welcome to reach out to me directly.
