My art is my means of identifying with the universe.  Therefore, I use contrasting forms to express my need for universality .  My inspiration comes from the unity between the microscopic and the macrocosmic.

My painting process is also designed to bridge the gap between the known and the unknown.  By using strings and sometimes wax as a resist (modified batik technique), I am able to reveal several layers of paint which would ordinarily get covered up.  Introducing a hybrid of techniques, symbols and various mediums, I am hoping to create Oneness.
