1. Start with an original painting, full of inspiration and vision.

2. Break it down into individual colours. Each colour gets its own silk screen.

3. Then imagine a sheet of paper going through the press one at a time. Layer by layer as each colour adds a piece to the puzzle.

It is a process that combines patience and artistry, building up the final image on layer at a time until it is complete.
