The creative process of painting and drawing is an integral part of life for me. All it takes to create inspiration is the feel of paper or canvas, a glimpse of color, or flipping through images of paintings. What is more exciting is the fact that learning never ends. There is always something to improve upon, and at the conclusion of every painting I am excited to start the next.

I paint in a realist style and use light and color to emphasize my subject matter. Most of my paintings today are in oil, though I continue to enjoy pastels. Drawing is a skill that I practice regularly, whether in graphite or colored pencil.
