"When commencing a new subject, I use images from memory and photographs, these are the basis of my compositions and color schemes. I engage myself in the essence of the overall composition -- how a feeling allures me and sways my frame of mind. And, while captivated by these senses I portray that feeling onto the work. This is what drives my artistic impulse and my goal while creating a painting -- enticing the feeling within. I often hear from those who have obtained my work that what pleases them most is that my art touches their feelings. They tell me how they feel whenever they look at the painting. Am I an emotional painter? You decide. My goal is to experiment with different media in ways that reveal my life experiences most creatively.
