Exhibition date: April 4 - April 7

"I am a self-taught artist working primarily with alcohol ink on a variety of synthetic papers and surfaces. Painting exhilarates and grounds me at the same time. It allows me to connect to a deeper side of me, giving me an emotional outlet and voice. My inspiration and influences begin from everything I feel, see, hear and experience everyday. It can be something as natural as rain falling or graffiti on the side of a building. When painting, I use heat to control and manipulate the natural flow and fluidity of the ink. This unique process allows me to create an ethereal image vividly highlighted by its depth, colour and movement. My paintings are delicate, yet bold, playfully contrasting between light and dark."
