Artist’s Bio and Statement:

Everyone around me can see how much of a difference art can make in someone’s life.

To my fortune, earlier on in life, I had the opportunity to learn about the technique of art. Most of the classes that I took taught the practical and the scientific side of art as applied to draft and engineering. I have watched my uncle Charles paint and contemplated the art of color, I have watched my sister draw and write and learned about the importance of composition.

My interest in art increased and one day 6 years ago, I picked up a brush and started painting. I was taken over by an amazing passion for the brush and the colors. For six years now, after an apprenticeship to a French impressionist artist which I enjoyed immensely, About 4000 art pieces later, I look back and I see the life of a little boy, who grew up in a very loving family, graduated with an engineering degree, immigrated to the United States 19 years ago and savored the richness of a multicultural life. Through art communication and sharing are indefinite.
