WHY AN ARTIST?
WHY A PAINTER?

"Some gifts are not given: you are
delivered to them, bound by chains
of nerves and genes stronger than
iron or steel, although unseen."

"You never know the force that
drives you wild to paint that sky,
and that bird flying, and is never
satisfied but maybe tomorrow..."
