During a recent trip, Noleen, discovered a phenomenal artist who finds inspiration for his imaginative artworks from nature, which shows in both the subjects he chooses and the materials with which he constructs his sculptures. He started creating driftwood sculptures about three years ago, using his extensive collection of found driftwood sourced from dry river beds, dams and farms in his area.
