About: 
Who I am and what I want to express

     My Artist Statement

My vision is to express the mystery of
divine power latent in natural and manmade forms, allowing the observers to discover their own meanings.  

My paintings and videos reveal the existence of light -- goodness, joy and hope -- as well as acknowledging the reality of darkness -- sorrow, pain and hopelessness.  I enjoy showing how light dispels darkness.
