如果把藝術的高地比作古代曾經興盛一時的羅馬，那么藝術家們就是在這條路上跋涉的朝圣者。
　　在藝術朝圣的路途上，我的起點可以說是缺乏優勢的：自小長在農村，沒有好的藝術學習的條件。幸運的是，我在鄰居的影響下早早地開始了對繪畫藝術的關注。那個時候也就是限于線描而已，我卻總是樂此不疲，上課時用的作業本上畫滿了小人兒。高中畢業后，我進了一所小中專，苦練了三年基本功，終于在1992年如愿考上了山東曲阜師范大學美術系，有幸得到了姚永、張煬、毛岱宗等名師的指教點撥。畢業后到聊城大學執教，繼續著對繪畫藝術的探索。
　　2002年，我確定了自己的繪畫題材：都市女性。同年，到中國藝術研究院高研班學習深造。在這個國內藝術理論最高學府的課堂上，一流的批評家們把藝術理論演繹得淋漓盡致，令人嘆為觀止。我受到了震撼，同時也汲取了豐富的藝術給養。興猶未盡，我又于2003年在藝術研究院接著參加了首屆油畫高研班的學習。2004年春天趕上了非典，被困學校，也因此成就了一批富有張力的以都市女性為題材的畢業創作。自此，我先后舉辦了兩次個展，參加了多次美術大展，引起了一定的社會關注。
　　無論何時，我手中的畫筆從來都不曾放下。即便是在夢中，也常常有關于繪畫的狂想浮現。我知道，只有不斷的超越自己，創造出更多更好的作品，才是一個純粹藝術家的終極目標。
　　藝術之路非常艱辛，非常殘酷，但是也無比快樂和幸福，因為我熱愛。同時，我也熱愛著通向羅馬的坎坷路途。
　　我畫，我存在。

　　Road to Rome
　　-----drawing jotting

　　If we compare the highland of art as ancient Rome which has ever been prosperous, artists will be the pilgrims trudging on the road.
　　On the pilgrim road of art, my beginning is lack of superiority: growing up in a village and not having good situations of learning art. To be lucky, I started early to pay attention to drawing under the neighbor’s influence. At that time, I was only limited in drawing lines, but always happy never tired, and I often drew persons on my exercise book. Graduating from senior school, I came into a technical secondary school, practicing essential skills hardly, so as to pass the exam of Art Department of Shandong QuFu Normal University, and luckily received the advice of the famous teacher, such as Yao Yong, Zhang Yang, Mao Daizong. After graduation, I taught in Liaocheng University, and continued probing the drawing art.
　　In 2002, I determined my drawing subject: metropolitan women. I went to IAS classes of Chinese Art Research Institute for further training in the same year. On the class of best art theory in China, the best critics deduced the art theory wonderfully, making person amazed. I was shaken and received plentiful art nutrition. Then, I joined the study of the first painting IAS class in Chinese Art Research Institute in 2003. In spring, 2004, I met SARS, besieging in school, but accomplishing a batch of exaggerated production which themed in metropolitan women. I have held two personal exhibitions and participated in many big art exhibitions, drawing certain social attention.
　　No matter at what time, my drawing pen will never put down. Even in the dream, there were crazy thinking rising in my mind. I know, only if you surpass yourself continuously, and create much better productions, which was a pure artist’s final purpose.
　　Art road is very hard and cruel, but it is also full of happiness, because I love art. I also love the rugged road to Rome.
　　I draw, I exist.
