Introduction: As a self-taught artist, I explore my mixed media fine artwork with what has been described to me as an alchemist’s touch. I am constantly experimenting with different and blended mediums to create works of art that entice viewers to explore perspective and distance, leaving one intrigued over how the effects were achieved.
