'As a TBI survivor, I discovered the significance of my artistic talent. This was a dark period in my life and my love of painting became the means in which I could express my difficult emotions using abstraction. These paintings reflected the anger and frustration of my long recovery period. Five years ago, my family relocated to Bermuda from NYC. The light and warmth and vibrant colours of the island revived my love of bright colours and is an important feature in Under the Sea.'
