My mother gave birth to me twice. In 1960 she gave birth to a baby, and in 2016, she gave birth to an artist. I lived my first 56 years believing I had no artistic ability. In 2016, while visiting my parents, a rainy day left us searching for an activity. My mother, a lifelong hobby painter, suggested painting and I reluctantly agreed. My first painting was far from a masterpiece, but I immediately appreciated the meditative and focused experience. Upon my return home, I bought some paints of my own. Thanks to the generosity of my teachers and harnessing the same drive that I used to become an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, I have created the most extraordinary life as a painter. I have enjoyed the warm camaraderie of the wonderful community of artists I have met, and I have been given the gift of seeing our beautiful world through the eyes of an artist. I left my medical career at the end of 2025 to pursue painting full time. I delight in the dance between light and shadow.
