From UMVA page: My work explores portrait narrative expression in oil painting. I am fascinated by people and how grayscale exposes layers of personality hidden by color. I see my painting work as a reflection of the world, apolitical, viewers will project their own interpretations and interact with their emotions that arise. I also work in ceramics using locally hand dug wild clay with low fire glaze as Back Pond Pottery, and enjoy the opportunity to catch digital photos.
