I choose to paint abstractly rather than realistically out of a desire to create situations in which emotions are felt rather than seen. The serene quality of my work (a direct influence of the Zen philosophy) combined with Western visual art techniques, provides an unpremeditated, unconscious and neo-expressionistic interpretation. I see this fusion of East - West traditions as an integral part of my visual vocabulary. The works of Jasper Johns and Jean Michel Basquiat have provided the basis for assimilation of the fundamental abstract quality in my paintings.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
