The creative forces of the universe are constantly at work making this world a beautiful one, to be a human, it is a meaningful and wonderful existence being is able to appreciate in the creative process. The delicate and tender aspects of the creative expression of
nature always intrigue and inspire me. In my work, I like to convey in a limited way, the vibrancy of life generated by the creative forces of the universe. The free flying birds in the sky, the smiling flowers, the waving grass, the distant mountain mist, always stir my
sentiment. In gratitude I dedicate my art to nature.
