As a young boy surrounded by many elderly people, I noted the fundamental role they played in my life and our society. I came to see that older people are the foundation to our goals, the pillars of our cultural traditions, and sources of knowledge and wisdom for the next generation. I saw an opportunity to use painting as a tool for storytelling, and honouring the contributions of the elderly.

When I paint, my aim is to capture moments that tell a story. Most importantly, my art must provoke questions and thought.
