Why 4Cats?
Its a happy and vibrant environment. It helps me to progress as an artist as much as we help others to do the same.

What is your favourite art medium and why?
Well I have always been a pencil and paper guy, but in the past few years I can’t get enough of painting. I love to blend colors.

Green because it reminds me of Vancouver on a summer day.
