Kit’s paintings integrate the quiet and meditative qualities of Eastern art with the colorful brilliance and subject matter of Western art. Each canvas crescendos into a harmonious and lively whole, like the score of a graceful, rhythmic piece of music.

Artist Statement “The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we are truly alive. So I paint the joy of living, which at the same time brings happiness, peace and delight to those who view my work.” “From the countries that I have traveled, I draw inspiration and subject matter from objective facts and real scenery, forming an artistic response to this outside stimulation to create images, which are both lyrical and contextual.”
