I paint people because I am fascinated and enthralled by the depths of courage, strength and beauty I see in everyone I meet, and how those qualities surface uniquely in people. My work is an active meditation on the properties of wholeness or oneness and individualism, always striving to reach towards a balance of both of these properties. Through my work, I hope to invite the viewer into a space where we can collectively wonder at the complete spectrum of life, at both the intimacy and awesome largess, of being human.
