“ An overriding theme of my work is sharing the joy that I feel from the vistas that I observe and from the painting process itself. This joyfulness also informs my palette, where I intentionally select bold and bright colors in balanced hues. As the colors sculpt the mountains, foreground, and sky, they meld into each other, and my painting surrenders itself to an emotional dreamscape. It becomes a fusion of two worlds—the seen and the unseen. I paint what’s not there and express the fullness of the joy that is in my heart.”
