I would be dishonest if I told I you I was the sole source of contribution to my work. I am constantly surrounded by a positive, critical and creative energy that influences, inspires and strengthens me in many ways. Therefore, it is very crucial for me to acknowledge those who shape and form who I am. Here are the people to whom I would like to pay tribute to.
Blair Brennan
Blair was once described to me as the “calm after the storm.” I think this is due to the honesty and acceptance that shapes Blair’s personality and his artwork. I love the open, rough and sometimes humorous quality of his work.

Dick Der
Dick arranges and manipulates found objects to create new meanings. I interpret both desperation and hope in his abstract urban landscapes.
