"I am attracted to strong features or a warm smile or glance, perhaps across a crowded market place. I try to address and transform the notions of beauty, such as beauty displayed as in strength of character.
I am constantly searching for ways to speak an element of the truth, and I believe it is important to incorporate each fragile and beautiful laughter wrinkle that frames smiling eyes."

"I hope to evoke intrigue and wonder from my audience, by recreating the raw realness through my subjects glance or confronting stare. My attempts are to capture my character with a sense of immediacy to create a snapshot of daily life- a fleeting moment in time. My goal is to allow the audience to be creative with their perception of that person’s character."

"The every day illuminates my imagination with painting potentials … if only I could paint every face and every character that fascinates me – I’d have to live forever."
