Words from the Artist
“I AM HIGHLY PASSIONATE FOR THE CREATIVE PROCESS OF FILMMAKING, ART AND ANIMATION. I MAKE GREAT EFFORTS AND TIRELESSLY STRIVE TO WORK HARD WITH A LOT OF PASSION AND LOVE FOR MY WORK. THE WORK I DO GIVES ME A LOT OF PRIDE AND JOY KNOWING THAT IT WILL CONNECT TO AN AUDIENCE BY PLAYING WITH THEIR EMOTIONS, AND HOPEFULLY INSPIRE THEM. ANIMATION HAS BEEN APART OF MY LIFE SINCE I COULD BARELY WALK, AND IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I GET TO BE APART OF THE MAGIC AND WONDER THAT IT PROVIDES TO THE WORLD.”
Favourite Animated Films: The Three Caballeros (1944), Bambi (1942) and Fantasia (1940)
