Art reflects our minds. It came from observation and imagination. In the form of painting, it is an artist's visual aesthetics and personal feelings talking to you. Paintings are more than home decoration. When you hang a painting on your wall and walk past it every day, it influences you. And it becomes a part of you.
I am an oil painter based in the San Francisco Bay Area. My paintings are about people and places. I think everyone deserves a portrait. Every person is different. Have we looked carefully at people, including ourselves, to discover the uniqueness? And the places where we live and visit affect us, both consciously or subconsciously. Our home, neighborhood, city, all those surroundings shape us, and vice versa. Not only do we exist in a place physically, we are also changed by it mentally and emotionally. By painting these subjects, I hope to have you, the viewer, to pause and see more and feel more. After all, having feelings is a prerequisite to be human--even when someday robots rule the world.
