GOLFOART

“Every day is an inspiration to me. I feel alive when I am in my studio creating the art I love and speaks to me in so many languages. I listen to music when I paint and every brush stroke is a note to me. I start with low key notes and end up with the high ones. Love dancing to my music when I paint. I suggest that to every artist. Be happy and paint only for you. I never think if people will like my work. What matters to me is for me to like it and had fun creating it.”
