Painting for me is a form of meditation. I lose track of time while trying to capture the magic of light and nature, searching to convey what I am experiencing while keeping the painting loose. 

For me, a successful painting keeps the viewer toggling between awareness of the surface, strokes and colors of the painting on the one hand, and the beauty or atmosphere of the scene depicted on the other hand. My paintings reflect relished times in and about Shushan, where we have had a house since 1989. For us, Shushan is a magical place. Hopefully, these paintings convey some of that magic.
