Painting is, for me, the most liberating and joyful experience I can give myself. Without fail, in every painting, there is a moment of discovery - something subtle and exquisite has been waiting patiently for me to notice it. I try to communicate those beautiful, breathtaking subtleties in every painting I create. Finding the priceless treasures in the mundane and seeing them in a fresh way renews my sense of wonder with this world. Beauty is everywhere, just waiting to be noticed!
