I am a painter of imagination. What I observe becomes the fodder that is translated into my imaginary presentations. From a gigantic distorted lobster lurking in the depths, to a creature that springs from an assemblage of a mandarin, a bear, and a wolf who's body shifts into a human child, to a wizard trapped in magic bottles. Training in traditional drawing and painting techniques, lots of practice, and keen observation have culminated in visual frozen moments of the impossible.
