Eternal Varanasi
As I was walking around Varanasi, India, the oldest continually inhabited town on earth, I came upon this boy working between the ancient, stone walls. This timeless scene and could have occurred at almost any time in human history.

Artist Statement
My quest to capture qualities of nature and people takes me on unpredictable journeys. I explore these experiences in my paintings through color and form. This scene from Varanasi, India of a young boy with his animals sheltered by ancient stones has likely been repeated almost daily for over 2,000 years. I invite you to take a quiet moment and step back in time with me.
