​
My life has been a form of art. My art changes with my life experiences. With a deep breath, the mountains speak. Mountains, rural landscapes and natural elements are always at the heart of what I create. Whether in the form of birds, mountains, flowers or abstract colorscapes, my work breathes, laughs, and holds love in every stroke.
