"Sumi-e painting was a turning point for my work. In Sumi-e you focus on the process. When I paint my intent is to let each mark of my brush meets the canvas as an extension of my state of mind. My over-arching vision is to create paintings that are academically informed, yet fresh and immediate. The canvas is planned compositionally and the final layers of paint are laid on when I bring my vision into focus.  As a painter, I see myself ultimately as a narrative painter. My goal is to effectively work with cool and warm colors that invite the viewer to stop and contemplate. I am largely inspired by classical realism and post impressionism."
