Every one of us is on a journey. This journey of life may be difficult at times. We may be troubled or feel vulnerable, but we move forward to find joy and delight. I paint human faces to record life stories and to express genuine, shared emotions.
Symbols tell stories; they may be my story or my subject’s story. When you look at the painting, the story is also yours. What symbols do you see and what do they mean to you personally? Do they remind you of your own life experience or memory? How do you feel? Maybe a fraction of your own story is in the painting.
Colour stimulates our senses and this is why I begin my paintings by choosing a colour palette. Though on some occasions, the painting takes a turn and wants to tell a different story. When this happens, I obey the muse.
I want to have a conversation with you through my art. I am asking where you are on your inner journey, and reminding you of your stories and memories. It is my hope that my paintings engage you on a personal level, and serve as a bridge connecting not only you and me, but also you and everyone who experiences the paintings.
