Artist Statement
Strong light and cast shadows can make the most ordinary scenes appear magical to me. Late afternoon light breaking through trees, reflecting off water, bouncing off cars, or streaking across a snowy landscape – makes me happy and hopeful. That delightful feeling is what I try to convey in my work.

Recently I’ve renewed an interest in figures and portraits, which has actually flourished during the pandemic through Zoom figure painting sessions. Connecting with a community of artists virtually every week has been really rewarding and enjoyable.

I’ve been painting in pastel for about 18 years - starting from weekly classes, and moving on to setting up a home studio and painting several times a week. I also manage to work full time as an engineer for Bose. Exercising my creative side definitely helps my engineering work, and a full time job definitely fuels my hunger and passion for artistic work.
