Who I Am

Each row of this piece holds a different part of who I am.

1st Row. Friendship and relationships in general. The acrylic swirls are circular in stroke, because life is a circle. It comes back around each time, regardless of circumstance.

2nd Row. Dedicated to love and romance: the happiness and the regret one's heart feels along the way. The paint flows up and down, as we “fall” in love.

3rd Row. Reserved for the memories of losing someone precious. It honours death, its mirror of life, and the reasons we give it. The strokes run from left to right, mimicking the unfolding of a story.

4th and Final Row. What I personally cherish: fun pastimes, animals, nature and myself. If you don't love yourself, then you're a sucker for life's illusion. The energy of the colours bursts from the center, like a soul.
