Artist Statement
Painting is my passion.
When a painting is going well I get lost in the sheer joy of creation.
When a painting becomes a struggle I press on. I am an optimist. Somewhere in the mess there might be something I can salvage! If not, oh well, I learn from my mistakes.
Learning is the key.
Never stop learning.
When I stop learning, that is the day my work will become mechanical, predictable, boring.
Painting, drawing, studying, traveling, exploring, experimenting, questioning, listening, observing, always observing; sometimes I am the teacher but always I am the student.
