Gift Painting

For me, painting is a way to express thoughts and feelings that arise from everyday reality. The creative process is a meditative immersion, more akin to a memory than a technique of applying paint to canvas. Participating in exhibitions and online galleries is a way to find like-minded individuals and engage in meaningful conversations. I am grateful for any opinion from respected viewers. The theme that inspires my art is the plasticity of the body, both of horses and humans. I strive to capture the pulse of life on canvas, making you want to touch the velvet skin of a woman or run your hand through the sun-warmed mane of a horse. When encountering the lifelike gaze of the characters I create, I hope you feel compelled to say, "Hello, I've been waiting for you!" I work with oil, pastels, and pencil.
