My artwork is an investigation of my surroundings and an interpretation of the way in which changes in the environment can affect an individual's mood cycle. Each panel descends from light to dark; the lighter tones represent sweltering heat and steam rising off the ground and the dark tones convey stormy temperamental conditions. My surroundings have had a large influence on me personally and my artwork is an expression of that.
