My challenge as an artist is to capture the essence of a subject. It may involve the light, the form, the colors, a person’s being.

Painting is meditation for me; it is a means of self expression. My goal is the integration between the observed outer reality and the inner self. I want my role as artist to be one of reflection, looking inward, looking outward, looking between the lines - to express this visually while bringing forth the light and the shadow with humor and hope.
