Artist Statement:

I paint in attempt to realize and communicate ideas and feelings inspired
by my surroundings, atmospheric conditions and the process of picture making itself.
At present, it is landscape (usually with an urban/manmade element) that generates
the pictorial ideas that excite me most.
