I paint to celebrate the human energy that expresses people around the world. I treasure the local people in their natural environment and bring out the colors of their spirit, striving to tell a story of their life through their habitats, style, and clothing. Respecting them for exactly who they excite me to fill the canvas with their individuality and diversity, capturing their personalities. It gives me great joy to paint and express my feelings about someone at that moment, even though it may be just a flashing moment.
