BIO
Background
I originally graduated as a graphical designer, but never actually worked as one. Only later in life did I rediscover my passion for visual art. I spent a few years at our local art academy, and eventually decided to follow my own instincts. Only then did I start to find my voice and did I start to develop as an artist.
