Artist Statement
"My work demonstrates my in-depth understanding of painting, largely in watercolor. Watercolor is the best medium for expressing my deepest feelings about portraying the beauties of nature. My themes vary depending on how challenging and inspiring the subject appeals to my creativity. I love to paint subjects that attract me, and finding a subject is not difficult—the subject seems to find me. I always try to establish a connection between my works and my viewers, enabling them to tell their own stories from my works. I love to paint people and places to show my varied audience the other side of the world I live in."
