“Photography for me is a passion I can’t live without. Seeing the extraordinary in ordinary objects, seeing the unseen, the beauty, the hidden expressions, and capturing those moments as I am witnessing them is an amazing feeling. My paintings and mixed-media work give me ways to explore and express my personal, cultural and intellectual views…. I am enjoying every moment of it.”
