My body of work, Genesis of Creation, investigates the nature of artistic influence and the evolution of the creative process. My intention in using a hybrid of realist and surrealist styles was to examine how significant the spaces we inhabit are in shaping our identity, perspective and memory and how we represent them in our art. The works in this series are connected by my use of light, conveying the birth of inspiration. I invite the audience to see how the interplay between environment and creativity extends the artist's self, revealing new dimensions of their artistic identity and personal expression.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: René Magritte, Vincent van Gogh, Franz Marc.
