Artist's statement- Acknowledging my own shortcomings, I try to observe and absorb all of the contradictions, tragedies, aberrations, all of the laughter, smiles, sarcasms and futilities- and go through the pains and pleasures of painting. Canvases become the visual gathering place of my fragmented self.
