Vendor Biography

My compositions derive from a mindful state and suggests a combination of life and meditation, where there is no immediacy of where we’ve been, where we’re going but where we are right now. I often find reality unbearable and chaotic and only from withdrawing from life can I let ideas happen by transforming the world I see around myself – reinventing it, envisaging it a, redefining it, reducing it and passing it through apps and different media.

There is a power of connectivity to nature and organic shapes.  I always work from images of landscapes and nature and use my spiritual eye to penetrate through the landscape to create the vast landscape of my dreams.  My work is constantly evolving although circles remain a coherent motif to symbolise life. I am concerned with the absorption of the essence and spirit of the outside world juxtaposed with my inner world.

Art has always been a part of my life.  As a small child I was taken to galleries and to the street artists in my home city. I then went on to study a diploma  in Art and Design, a degree in Fine Art and a Graduate internship in Gallery Studies.

Art is in the essence of my being and helps me to breathe.  I will always create.
