Self discipline is the key to personal greatness.It is the magic quality that opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible. With self-discipline, the average person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take him. But without self-discipline, a person with every blessing of background, education and opportunity will seldom rise above mediocrity. My paintings show bold contrasts and a dynamic balance between restrained and boldly gestural brushstrokes and palette knife. They reflect not only a dialogue , philosophy and a contemporary thinking but also a considered engagement with autobiographical content, contemporary events and the essential human conditions of life.

ALL ARTISTS SHOULD BE FAITHFUL TO THE FLATNESS OF THE CANVAS. I must suggest depth and movement, contrasts in color, form and texture. I must speak through the paint, not through words. My expression is color. "The whole world will see it visually as I do.." I am balanced through an impulse of control, not a picture but an event. What is to go on a painting is the birth of action painting. You become what you think about. I also want to reinforce what has worked for me in maintaining a positive approach to life. One must manage one's energy levels, keep one's soul alive, take new paths, burn brightly without burning out, and live in awe. Take quiet time alone. Live a life that shows it. Be still enough to find the answers within and listen to them. Your goals should stem from your values, and then your work will radiate your heart's desire. Wherever you live, be sure to have full view of the trees, sky and land. Possess kindness and have an essence of spirituality that radiates outwardly.
