What is unique about your work?
Being selftaught, I have a unique style and approach to capturing the essence of a subject. I like taking an animal an representing it devoid of background using plenty of negetive space. Which gives the viewer's eye an ease to admire the beauty and spirit of the subject in it's eniterty. Leaving only a creature to be seen in it's pure form. I try to capture the spirit and frequency of the wonderful animals we share this world with.If you have any questions or comments about me or my work, please feel free drop me a line.
