My Bio
I grew up with a taste for sci-fi and fantasy but the beauty of nature (especially Winter and the other seasons) has always moved me.
Music inspires me to paint, especially "mindscape' music, such as prog rock, psychedelic music, classical, new age and medieval music.
Places from my childhood memories or places that I see in and around my neighborhood influence some of the landscapes in my paintings, as well.

Others frequently turn to you for your wise and unique advice. You’re generous with your time and energy, always willing to help out those who really need it. Still, you are not a pushover and although you don’t need much of it, you do appreciate gratitude.

Hi i love your colors! Do you use the airbrush?

Hello, I run a small blog.



I want to interview artists and post them on a blog and introduce them to many people.



If you have time, can you participate in the interview?

Wooow...you were born to do this! I thought these kinds of views only happen in my dreams, but now I found out that a person does it on canvas. You're amazing, I can't eben find the right words. Thanks for sharing your art with us ❤
