ARTIST’S STATEMENT
As an explorer of the natural world and an ongoing seeker of the human mystery, my journey seeks to cross the boundaries of the symbolic and the sensual, to find appreciation in the wonders of the seemingly ordinary, and to speak in an ennobled visual language of the both the joys and darknesses of life and death.
