Artist Statement

Drawing and painting have always been a way of expressing myself. Nature is my primary source of inspiration. Painting for me is a meditative state of being, where I connect to the elements and the rhythm of nature, weaving dreams and visions into my artwork. My idea of the intention of doing art is to be able to communicate that all things are connected with one another and to the universe. The interconnectedness of all things in nature represents a deep unity within myself. I also consider my work as a teacher bringing the language of colors to the viewer and hope for the future. I like to think of my paintings as gifts from the spiritual realm revealed after journey to the land of introspection. Welcome to traces of my vision.
