Money. Power. Status. Fame. 

That’s all I care about. 

Just joking! 

I could care less about status and fame. 

However money and power are important to me. 

Money of course to live. Power to me means doing what you love for a living. That is powerful and too few people do it. 

I could never relate to friends who focussed only on money and ended up in jobs they hate. I have always encouraged my friends and my students to pursue what they love. In seeking their passion they have found purpose, as have I as an artist and teacher. It is sheer joy to pursue an MFA in painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design. With generous professors that lead the way, I am loving doing my master’s degree. I am both a drawing instructor and fine artist. 

Living in vibrant Montreal, Quebec, Canada has taught me to speak fluently in French as our province is bilingual. 

After obtaining a B.F.A. in Fine Arts from Concordia University, I have been teaching drawing for the past thirteen (13) years and currently I'm teaching drawing online at the Triple AAA Concept Art School in Reunion Island, a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Madagascar in Africa. That job came about after meeting an islander who started his own school, who is confident and full of joy.

My portraits are characters I have created based on my own sense of self. They are overcoming suffering with vibrant strong colours and defined line work. The men are bold and multifaceted. They are able to tolerate immense amounts of stress without buckling under the weight of the pressure, unlike me, who cannot tolerate stress at all.

These portraits depict men as emotional rocks, able to act as a buoy to a damsel in distress such as myself. It’s a love letter and tribute to them.

I am filled with purpose, fulfilling my dreams and I wish the same for you, that you find out your heart’s desire.
