 Personal Statement  "Painting for me is a passion, a need, and a duty. It is my constant companion, sometimes cruel and resentful, sometimes condescending and other times peaceful and kind. It wards off those vicious enemies which so frighten me: solitude, indifference, and collective forgetfulness. I paint my monsters, my fears, so that I can live with them. In so doing, I take command of them and control them (or at least temporarily)."
