All my life I dreamed of being an artist but lacked the courage to pick up a brush. Then, about ten years ago I met my mentor who inspired me to put a hand to canvas. Even then I could not imagine it becoming more than a hobby but it turned into a passion which now consumes every hour of every day. I am blessed.

At this stage, I love doing portraits. I watch people. The challenge to capture their emotions on canvas is simply irresistible. When the image talks to me, draws me in, then I know it has been a success. Only then am I done. It is not always easy. Many times it proves to be impossible. Sometimes I need to let it go. And I do, let it go sometimes. Although I prefer to work on my own ideas, I do accept commissions. Many times enthusiasm takes over and I would almost compulsively, franticly attack a canvas.
