A professional artist who is passionate about watercolour,life,animals and the beauty of nature.
I enjoy working minus the use of a preliminary sketch. Painting directly with colour aiming to capture the essence of a subject. Living and studying art over the years in Asia,Dubai and Europe has influenced my brushstrokes and technique.
