We all reveal ourselves through our verbal and physical expressions, which make-up our presence. I am a portrait/figurative painter who is interested in the physical as a platform to reveal what I see and feel as my truth of the being. This experience of discovery is what Martin Heidegger refers to as the "Unconcealedness" of a work of art. My process is rooted in looking, filtering nature through me, and translating my understanding into works of art.
