“I love the physicality of painting, getting my hands dirty and immersing myself in design. I also love that the journey of a painter is never complete and there are continuous opportunities to learn and improve one's craft. The intellectual component of problem solving inherent in the painting process is also very satisfying to me. But it is the ability to depict what I feel in my heart and soul in moments of emotional connection with inherent beauty not just superficial beauty which truly has drawn me in and has become a deep passion.”
