I create because I must. I create art so others can feel the aesthetics therein, to uplift and transform their spirit.

In this lifetime I have been lucky to be trained in and exposed to various forms of Art making. From the terracotta of Bengal to the dream walking of the Aboriginals, I have created art using Intaglio, Cyanotype and Silkscreen. At this moment of time, I am reliving the ancient art of Encaustic. I find this process exciting because the result is textural and luminous and viewers are drawn to it.
Where do you find inspiration?My wife and I are constantly discussing various art topics and patterns and what might create great theme for art. Lately this has led to creating art that depicts humans in various settings and closeups. We are inspired by the excitement we see in our viewers.
What would you do with $25,000?I will just invest it in my son’s future. He has autism and I am using my art to create a secure future for him. Even after 15 years of doing the Arts Festival circuit, there are some shows we are not invited. I am hoping that more than the money, the recognition will help us expand the shows we are participate in.
