He loves to work in a variety of mediums resulting in a vivid collection of paintings, prints, ceramics, and sculpture that is engaging, beautiful and highlights the artist’s distinctive style and love of his countries. You Are Art has been the artist’s motto since 2018, stating “when in times where it looks as though hate is winning in our culture, I prefer to see the beauty around, everything and everyone inspires me in my art.”
