'My main objective as an Artist is to document my journey through our ever-changing world, observing, growing and learning with every situation life presents. I absorb and take inspiration from everything I encounter on a daily basis then store these visions up until I am ready to express what it is I need to say. My process is always automatic, from the paint used to the method in which I apply the marks. By having these visual references around me I can begin to understand more about myself and about the world I live in and I see them all as self-portraits.
