Artist Statement

"I feel grateful to be alive and witness the majesty of life. My mind reaches to record something of the moment in awe; to draw from life or jot down an observation. Once I make that initial note I want to study it further and see what I can learn. Making art shows me the meaning inherit in common events. When this happens there is a story to tell.

I have committed myself to pursuing art as a vocation out of a great love and respect for art itself. Great art has always stirred my spirit and stoked my thoughts. I respect the arts for serving society as a mirror, a message board and a record. I find great purpose in making art."
