"Japanese Girls- A Set of Two Paintings" Painting

Step into a world of vibrant colors, cultural richness, and soulful expressions with my art. Each piece tells a unique story, from the striking portraits capturing the essence of humanity to the oil paintings inspired by global travels and ethnic diversity. With every brushstroke, I aim to infuse my creations with empathy, curiosity, and love, inviting viewers to connect with the beauty and wonder of the world.

After a rewarding 15-year career in the business world, I embarked on a new journey dedicated to the pursuit of artistic expression. Through rigorous training at prestigious institutions like New School, NYU, and the New York Academy of Art, I honed my skills and delved into various art forms and techniques. Drawing inspiration from seasoned artists and master painters, I refined my craft, embracing the intricacies of the old masters' technique to bring depth and authenticity to my work. My painting process includes 5 stages: 1. Drawing/tracing image onto the canvas, 2. Black & White Underpainting (Grisaille) 3. Layering Color in Oil Paint 4. Glazing 5. Varnishing. I do not paint on a photo!

In 2016, my passion for art was showcased at the esteemed Earth exhibit held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, where my "Faces of the World" collection captivated audiences with its powerful storytelling and cultural diversity. Since then, my artistic journey has been a continuous exploration of creativity, expression, and personal growth.

I invite you to enrich your home with the vibrant hues and cultural narratives of my artwork. Whether you're drawn to the captivating gaze of my portraits or the evocative storytelling of my still life compositions, each piece offers a window into the world as seen through my eyes. Let my art adorn your walls, adding warmth, color, and culture to your living space, and allowing it to inspire, delight, and ignite your imagination with every glance.
