My work:
I paint in response to my environment, creating colourful expressive pictures.
I try to document the beauty always in front of me. I have used acrylics, water colour, pastels, oil pastels, gouache, etching, screenprinting. My preferred media are water colour and gouache. I have good graphic skills, and my excitement comes from colour.
