"My intention as a painter is to offer a visual representation of our psychological battles. When we lay eyes on a friend or a stranger it can be very misleading. The individual may appear outwardly calm and untroubled, but inwardly he might be swimming a current of unrelenting sorrow. The only indication of his inner struggle might be reflected in the individuals method of coping; they reach for a drink or light a cigarette."
