Statement

Quirky characters is what I paint. Much of the time, I let spontaneity and being open create the  characters first. I later then organize these images and put them into narratives and let them interact  with one another. 
The use of fluid lines and splashy shapes make up the different outfits and wardrobe that these  characters wear. 
It is my intention that I paint a world that is filled with the various states of human conditions and how  they relate to the world.
