When did you first know you wanted to be an artist?
‘As a little kid I won a coloring contest, so even then I knew I wanted to do something creative. My secondary studies in Fine Arts really sparked my passion for art and I started experimenting with different media. It was also the constant encouragement and nurturing of my art activities by my parents that made me realize that art was to be both my passion and my profession.’
What experiences have made you the artist you are today?
‘Every day brings new experiences and learning opportunities. Every chance I get to talk to people about my work is a chance to exchange ideas and another way to learn.’
What would you still like to accomplish in your career
