Why Paint?

I like doodling, scribbling, splashing and colouring. It’s messy and it’s fun. Sometimes I get the urge to paint something particular, but not very often. I usually start and see what comes out. I don’t have one particular theme or style. In some of my work there is nothing deep or meaningful, but you’re welcome to think that there is. I paint because I love colour. I paint because it’s fun. I paint because whatever I do it, no one else in the history of the universe has ever made a piece quite like mine. I also paint to bring joy to others. I do fun family portraits, favourite pets, and books for the likes of doting parents and grandparents who take pleasure in reading their personalised story books to their children. Lastly, I paint for those who can’t, for those who do not want their stories forgotten. In making illustrated legacy books for Holocaust survivors and their families, I paint for posterity. Below are some samples of commissioned pieces which I know have made people happy. I would love to paint something for you too.
