Artist Statement: "My work explores the beauty of human beings, animals, and nature, often conveying biblical significance. Each artwork tells a unique story that transcends boundaries of species, age, or gender. My process involves working in sections, a method I’ve valued since childhood. Before beginning any piece, I pray and seek inspiration from the Bible. I meticulously study reference images, focusing on their distinct characteristics, which allows me to capture expressions with precision. Every stroke is intentional, reflecting my commitment to storytelling through art and my desire to glorify God with each creation."
