Iโve always been an explorer, and love the idea of navigation and discovery, of exploring our universe and the universe out there, looking inside learning from what weโve encountered. This is reflected in my art. Iโm always exploring universes, planets, discoveries. Each piece is a new discovery, a new place internally and outside. I started doing this much more while social distancing, travelling, exploring, navigating into my art.
