“The endless journey of finding the balance between two cultures East and West, is evident in my work where I examine and embrace the ambiguity within. Disparity plays the protagonist in all of my images. To capture an emotive dialogue through my work with the audience shall be my privilege. I inspire to the energy and wit of Klee and Picasso. My appreciation of ukiyo-e woodblock art is reflected in my lean towards shapes existing in a two-dimensional environment. The attraction for subtle color gradation answers to my years as an airbrush artist. Concepts and preliminaries are executed traditionally with pencil on wood panel, as well as completed digitally as gyclee prints.”
