“You know, there's something about creating art for Curiosity Snug® that just lights me up inside. Whether I'm sketching out those bold lines for my abstract line art or meticulously crafting tiny dots with my fine ink work, it's like I enter this whole other world. I believe some of my best work happens when the rest of the world is asleep. There's this magic that comes with the quiet of the night. It's like I can tap into these hidden treasures that snugly fit into the artwork, making it feel they were always meant for each other and for each person who lays their eyes on it.
When I'm in the zone, nothing can stop me. It's like creativity takes over and my heart races with excitement. I could keep going for hours, losing track of time altogether. There's just something so fulfilling about making ‘Perception Art’. It sparks a reaction in people, that gets them thinking or feeling something they didn't expect.
You might wonder why I pour so much of myself into my art, why I'm so passionate about it. Well, it's simple really. I believe that everyone deserves to experience a bit of 'Curiosity' in their life. It's that feeling of wonder and excitement that keeps us going, that makes life so much more interesting. And my art? I believe it's like a gateway to that world of curiosity. It starts conversations, challenges perceptions, and reminds us that there's always more beneath the surface if we're willing to look for it. And that, is why I do what I do.”
