“Every artist has a “sway” about their painting style. My sway is to paint with lots of movement and rich color. Whether it’s eyes expressed in curvy lines or an exaggerated limb playing a simplified musical instrument,

I tend to move with a smooth rhythm that translates to others as “happy” art, a predominant theme I choose to transcend in my work.”
