“ When painting a portrait, I enjoy the challenge of capturing the personality and likeness of a subject because that portrait will be a family treasure to be handed down from generation to generation. But whether it is a portrait, figurative, still life, or landscape, my aspiration is to capture the perfect play of light, shadow, and colour, enhancing the spirit and composition of my painting.”
“ I work in a tradition that comes down to us from Velazquez, Degas, Sargent, and others. My style is loose and free, some areas having more focus than others.”
