Q. What inspired you to become an artist, and how did you first get started on your artistic journey?

Q. How have your travels around the world influenced your art and creative process?

Creating large-scale sculptures is not for the faint-hearted. There are many factors to be considered, and it’s more of a fusion of architecture and engineering.
