"I use painting to work out the social implications of my subject matter and bring visibility to individuals, who fall outside the standards of popular culture. Recently, 
I have focused on capturing the aged and in particular those who reflect the 
hardships of life. The images provide an introduction to my subject’s life 
story through their facial features; however, I leave it up to the audience
 to complete the narrative."
