I paint colors of life. Painting is a result of introspection as
well as observation of life. Each experience, each facet of life
flow into the picture.
Coming from a biracial background, I experience the importance of nurturing
both
cultures as part of self discovery. Finding ones identity is the strongest
foundation for life. My works depict that journey and the impact
of lack of it.
