The joy of living is about delighting in something.
Aside from the obvious - family and friends - my most delightful delight is color. I am addicted to color. Color is my drug, my drink, my spiritual food and my passion.
If the truth be told, there’s not a sighted human being who is not affected by color because it speaks a universal language. Color is powerful. It’s everything... it’s my life.
I think of my work as a dance, where my hand, the paper and the pigment flow together. I want my paintings to evoke emotions, and transport the viewer to a special place. I want the audience to feel the atmosphere upon seeing the colorful vista that fades into the horizon. That’s my landscape.
The landscape, color and I are inseparably bound. That’s my life, my landscape.
