“Nothing is more satisfy- ing to me than creating. The inspiration for my work is endless, the human body, the food I grow, the people I interact with, the insects that surround me; although my source materi- al is mostly anatomical and microscopic.
I prefer to work with col- ors that are electrifying and brilliant to create sensory stimulation and draw oth- ers to the world I have cre- ated.”
