MY CV

Although I use a variety of materials and processes throughout my work, my methodology always stays the same. The nature of my art slowly works into the heads of my fans. Once they recognize a general pattern, they are able to break away and observe the work with newly objective eyes. Below you can find examples of my style and artistic methods within my current and past collections.
