Artist's Statement
In my formative years, I was immersed in just about every creative discipline: classical piano, modern dance, ballet, drawing, painting and foreign languages. When I started working, all that creative energy went into my banking career that came with long hours and a lot of travel. Even then on weekends, I could sit up to five hours at a time creating photorealistic paintings with acrylic on canvas. Photography is happily just as consuming but it empowers me in ways that continue to surprise me. With the camera, I have walked into strangers’ houses without inhibition and connected with ordinary people in ways I have not experienced in my 25 years of working with wealthy clients all over the world. I would like to believe my best photographs are as visually enjoyable as a good painting, but intuitively captured when I am completely focused on the moment, to reflect a little piece of me.
