Statement

Inspired by ancient and contemporary Egyptian culture, I love creating textured abstract art using mixed media on canvas. In some of my art pieces, I like to use simple compositions which are offset by the complexity of my techniques and embellishments to create work that is remarkably rich and cohesive. The subtle embellishments bring a depth of feeling and warmth to my work that is immediately inviting.

The selection of the color palette brings a subtle vibrancy to the pieces and harkens back to classical styles while still remaining firmly rooted in the modern. My textures are so varied resembling everything from broken pieces of ancient pottery to golden fields of wheat.

In my artwork, I intuitively build the texture on canvas that often depicts either some sort of dynamism or stillness, both of which touch the emotions and captivate the viewer, taking them into places of their own imagination.
