My artwork is semi-autobiographical and is partly influenced by my personal experiences and observations.
I am a self-taught artist and gravitate naturally toward bright colors. I draw best on long flights, in hotel rooms, in restaurants when eating out alone, and in seminars. Digital media enables me to do this conveniently. I work with acrylics and oil pastels when I’m at home.
Ultimately, regardless of the location or medium, filling a blank page with paintings or words is a very fulfilling experience for me.
Writing allows me to explore the extremes of human nature. I have taught criminology for the past ten years and believe that there is a Jekyll and Hyde waging a silent war in each one of us. The majority of us keep Hyde imprisoned in the depths of our souls and ignore his occasional screams to be set free. But some among us have given Hyde free rein to their lives and it is their victims that I often write about.
