ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I am an engineer by training and profession. Like most professionals, I have spent a majority of my time working on tasks ranging from complex problems to mundane documentation. I seek to see the world by painting with light. Photography allows me to capture the joy I derive from those moments of gazing. Most importantly, it allows me to be an “amateur” of life and nature, in the true, etymological sense of that word. One cannot help but be in awe of the rich architectural history, the beautiful foliage and the limitless oceans that surround Yale and New Haven. I have tried to capture an inkling of the emotion that one feels in these places.
