OSA, SCA

Nature has forever been the inexhaustible source of my inspiration, and my work is simply an emotional reaction to its splendour and beauty. Trained in the traditional manner and working almost exclusively with oil, I am driven by an intense desire to capture the forms, patterns, rhythms, colour relationships and other esthetic elements underlying that beauty, and the need to “share the moment and the experience”.
