Someone once told me, ‘Studying is different than reading. Studying is looking very deeply, searching for meaning and understanding’. Drawing is studying for me - but with no words, for example: drawing yoga postures describes what part of the body is working.   

Painting is similar to writing a letter to myself. My work reflects what I’m thinking about, for example:during covid isolation, I created portraits based on social media. I recalled the subjects’ voices, my reaction to the messages influenced aspects of the portraits.   

Art is communication, without words or musical note, I enjoy a sense of play (sometimes called “flow”) other times I work in a very intellectual way. The more I work -the more ideas and questions I have, my inspiration is work.
