I do art.

I do art. My inspiration comes from landscapes, Glagolitic script, people, my cat, and the experiences of life: love, loss and joy. I bring these things together in work that leaves room for the viewer to find their own story.

About

Art as a way of living

I do art. I like to make work that appears simple, not because it is simple, but because I enjoy leaving out detail. That space lets you complete the story. For me, less is often more.

For me, art is not separate from life. It is a way of living, shaped by years of travelling the world and by everything the road has taught me about people, places and feeling.
