Artwork created for my project "Ahes To Ashes - The Psychology of Smoking & Quitting" that focuses on (a) the damage potentially inflicted on myself by smoking for over 20 years and (b) artwork I create for participants in the "Send Me Your Last Cigarette" component of the project.

Also called "Where Drawing Meets Painting" - all the works are created directly from life in short open figure drawing sessions. The works are playful, sensuous and moody and provide a glimpse into the intimacy between model and artist.

Zooming In is a ongoing body of work that have their roots in two photographs that I took with my first digital zoom lens on a trip to India. It speaks to my fascination with how the lens and the digital zoom in function can see what the naked eye cannot possibly see.

What's Inside (of Me) is a body of works where I have fun on the computer, mixing and matching paintings, drawings and photographs. It's my separate universe.

I have a fascination with the human form and how to represent it. How should the artist depict the living thing i.e. what does flesh look like and feel like? On the other hand there is the question of how to depict the human psyche - intelligence, moods, feelings and passion.
