Personal statement

I came to painting late. I was in my mid 30’s. It was like falling in love with someone I didn’t totally understand, couldn’t control and who was beyond me. But I knew that above all else I wanted to experience life and express myself through this medium.

This is a dream I hold close, and, on occasion, I have even seen the possibility of it happening. Most of the time, however, I have a tricky, complicated and awkward relationship with painting. But, beyond people, it is the most important thing in my life.

I try to stop myself from asking if I am good or bad. But rather was I really present, committed and true?
