I love painting and have a need to do it.

Painting is a hobby for me.

It is not an aesthetic misstep to make the viewer aware of the paint and the painter's hand. Such an empathetic awareness lies at the heart of aesthetic appreciation.

I have always wanted to make paintings that are impossible to walk past, paintings that grab and hold your attention. The more you look at them, the more satisfying they become for the viewer. The more time you give to the painting, the more you get back.

I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.

I love painting.

What I wish to show when I paint is the way I see things with my eyes and in my heart.

I am a hobbyist photographer so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting.
