Painting and Drawing is a state of living to me. As a portrait and landscape artist, people and nature are my inspiration; my style empathizes with the subject I paint. I strive to understand the essence of the person or the scene, to tell a story, explore an idea, or convey a particular feeling. I hope the captured moment will inspire and resonate with the viewer.
