ARTIST STATEMENT
I want to express and document my thoughts and feelings through my art, some of my work is narrative or perhaps a metaphor - other pieces are simply express the beauty and concerns that surround me. I have no fixed or discernable style and let the subject of my work lead me to a medium. Above all, I hope my work is appreciated on its artistic merits, color, technique, design and secondly on a personal level through subject and statement. In each piece of art, I explore challenges in medium and set new goals to create a voice that speaks to me and the viewer.
