Project Statement
This is an ongoing artistic project seeking to explore modern and abstract art through experimenting with media, paints, styles and technique and the making of art and radically examine concepts and ideas to free the mind and liberate the hart this alternative creative individual approach will explore the value and personal perceptions I have of modern abstract and expressive visual art.
