Most of the time I express myself through art. I pursued an HND Art & Design course at the Fashion and Design Institute (FDI) and a B. Ed course in Art & Design At the MIE. I am currently working as a full time Art & Design Educator in a private secondary school.

When I am not working, I am always drawing, painting and experimenting new ideas. I believe art is a therapeutic experience for one to express himself in its different forms. My source of inspiration comes from daily observations of human behavior, plants and man-made objects. In my compositions, I like to showcase messages which might make the viewer reflect. These messages often come from my philosophical mind which is driven by curiosity.

I like to integrate alocasia and caladium plants in my creations, I am often inspired by the masters of Arts such as Henri Matisse, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee and the surrealist painter Salvador Dali. Local artists as Gael Froget, Emilien Jubeau, Kim Yip Tong, Max Anish Gowriah, Evan Sohun, Pascal Lagesse and Vick Shibdoyal encourage me through their creations and wisdom.
