I am an oil painter inspired by the connection between humans and animals—particularly horses. Since I was a child, I’ve known that there was something about being in the company of horses that brought me out of my head and back into my body. My background is unusual in that I am an eye and eyelid surgeon. My past career has given me an eye for detail, symmetry, patterns, and beauty. Unsurprisingly, I love to focus on the eyes of my subjects, bringing their unique personalities to life.
