Artist Statement: My work often seeks to capture the subtle, often unnoticed wonders that surround us, encouraging viewers to see the world through a lens of curiosity and reverence. Each brushstroke is a heartfelt homage to the intricate beauty and divine harmony found in God's creation.

As an artist, I am fascinated by the textures, patterns, and colours found not only in the natural world, but in everyday objects. My paintings are an exploration of these elements, each one a study in contrasts and harmony. Using a blend of intuition and technical skill allows me to explore different styles and approaches while staying true to my vision.

I hope that amidst the chaos of modern life, my artworks serve as a sanctuary of peace and inspiration - to find solace in the depiction of the natural world, marvel at its complexity, and celebrate its enduring presence in our lives.
