The Artist
To create has always been part of my life. From drawings which looked perfect to me as a child of 5 to more mature sketches which would end up as beautiful paintings on the walls of homes of admires to garments and jewelry designing to writing of poetry. Using my first box of oil colors left me with a feeling of freedom which up to that moment, I have never felt. Though challenging at first but with constant practice I became better. Being self taught has given me the opportunity to explore without boundaries
Inspirations for my paintings are gotten from poetry, plays, films, daily living amongst people of different walks of life and myself. My subjects consist mainly of the female figure. I chose this because the curves of a woman give off a feeling of rhythm and movement and being a dancer myself, this was easily relatable
