"My work is inspired by the natural world. I try to express its essence in abstract language. Most of my work uses color and texture as the driving force to evoke and explore the feeling being defined. My experiences living in crowded but vibrant cities have enabled my consciousness to a greater sensitivity of feelings. My work evolves constantly, experience a battle between me and my canvas. I am a physician by profession now serving as an infectious disease specialist at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. I am an alumnus of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) and a member of Philadelphia Sketch Club. My paintings and photographs have appeared in many solo and group exhibitions in the United States and abroad."
