Interviewer: How did you become an artist?

Artist: I started painting as soon as I could pick up a brush, so you could say I was born this way.

Interviewer: How is your artistic process?

Artist: I experiment and learn by trial and error until a working method appears, then I refine it instead of reinventing it. I build a painting by doing and revising, not by following a fixed image.

Interviewer: Subject matter and inspiration?

Artist: Things that matter to me, which I want to share without words. My collection ARS GRATIA MARIS celebrates the wonders of the ocean while quietly commenting on our human impact upon it. AESOP focuses on human behavior and offers a cautionary narrative for our modern era. Animals are usually the protagonists of my artwork in one way or another.

Interviewer: How long does it take to paint a picture?

Artist: How long is a piece of string?

Interviewer: What do you want people to feel when they stand in front of your work?

Artist: Like they’ve discovered something.

Thank you! …Thank you!
