First of all I want to say thank you to all the people investing in my artwork and my future. I am a paper artist that likes to experiment with all types of paper and crate unusual items that are mesmerising to look at and captures the imagination. My inspiration comes from life, love, nature, politics, news, and everything that surrounds me in life. Although my preferred medium is paper I also enjoy playing with paint creating paintings with bright colours and texture.
