My paintings are the mirrors of my life, rich in layers, textures and emotions. At the core of each painting is that most basic of realities, shared human experience- that is love, hope, joy, and pain, in all their complexities and depth. Deeply personal, each painting is its own force and process, taking between weeks or months to complete, draining me in the process, so that I only paint when I am inherently compelled to do so.
