About the Work
I find my inspiration from every day life. My central focus is on body art, tattoos and alternative trends. My work is contemporary, decorative and functional art. I'm very pop-culture influenced and attracted to bright bold colours with dark overlay or backgrounds. With these hues I use familiar images as my objects and create in series. In this way, I imbue the images with more meaning and provide the viewer a different way to view ordinary objects.
