My Philosopy:
Sometimes the smile on a stranger's face, sometimes the perfection in nature and sometimes the emotions embedded in a specific moment trigger me. I feel the urge to pour onto the canvas what I see with my eyes and feel within my heart.
I believe life is a beautiful journey that should be shared with others. So, here are the reflections of my journey presented for everyone to enjoy!
