The World Needs More:

I have 2 quotes that are important to me that I thought of many years ago “Art heals” & “Without Inspiration, there’s only Desperation” I want to spread healing and inspiration through the platform of art helping people to find their light by being inspired by my story and never give up attitude.

WOW Factor:

My Wow factor is I turn a blank canvas into a portrait live at events in ten minutes. A few key events that have helped shape who I am today is having the opportunity to open for Sir Richard Branson in which I painted his portrait upside down (the canvas was upside down) and when I flipped the piece to reveal, the crowd roared - This particular piece was painted in 6 minutes. For me a special moment which also cemented my purpose was having the opportunity to perform at the celebration of Bruce Lee’s 75th anniversary in Hong Kong. Being a martial artist myself, sitting at a table next to Bruce Lee’s wife and daughter to then painting Bruce’s portrait live in front of their eyes is something that will forever be in my heART
