Artist's Statement
I like to use acrylic paint, collage of my own photos, drawings and paintings on canvas to make a strong statement. My work usually combines architectural images with abstract shapes and organic line-work. My intent is to use recognizable subject matter in a slightly ambiguous way, because I want the final piece to be open to individual interpretation.Selected Solo and Group Exhibitions
