Artist’s Statement:

I paint from the heart, capturing the romance of a single moment. What impresses me the most is how something simple and humble, subjects not necessarily thought of as a work of art, can be turned into a beautiful painting. It fascinates me that a single moment captured on canvas can inspire and fulfill an entire dream, give joy to its beholder or become a piece of art history.
