Orchids

Interact with and touch those around me, it is a way I seek to be understood by others and also to understand my self. Whether we express ourselves through painting, writing, speaking, or any other methods, we all have an innate need to communicate that we are and what is important to us. I feel like I can express my feeling and understanding of life and my self through colors and forms when there are no words for it.

I have a desire to communicate the beauty of creation; I want to show to others what I see and feel. I see beauty in every element of life and nature; to me life is about art of being able to see beauty in what ever we are surrounded with and also art of being able to create beauty in life. My desire is for us to find more peace, contentment and all the beauty in our life; I reflect this notion through art. My paintings have both decorative and symbolic side, built around a conceptual inner message of beauty of nature. I want everybody to see the beauty and peace in nature. However, to me painting is not a goal but is a contribution to art of living.

The collection Orchids done in oil color, brings forth a unique designs and colors of beautiful orchid creation in nature. This enables the viewers to become aware of the beauty and their intricacy. Each design allows the viewers to appreciate what nature can offer in even the smallest flower. Lastly, it is the beauty of life and nature that inspires and uplift my soul, and my joy is found through expressing it through art of painting using color and form.
