................I live surrounded by rice fields, farms and orchards.
I see the simple life of these farmers and try to convey its beauty
to others through the pictures I paint. The traditions and customs
they observe are the subjects of my art. I have great admiration
for the quiet, unchanging rhythms of rural life and see my mission
as an artist to offer the people who see my works a pathway to a
paradise increasingly ignored and undervalued in the modern world.
