About The Artist

Artist Statement

I believe that the human spirit is sacred.
One of the tenets of spirituality is the recognition of the universal oneness of man and nature; This is transcendence. More than the sum of its parts.

And together this oneness transcends the individual.
My work is a visual representation of this belief. The lines that begin all my work and remain visible in some are a symbol of this unity. We are all connected.

This is the root of all my work. The need to find meaning in the chaos of the world. To give voice to those who come together to find hope and mercy. To fight for the right for all people to live in respect and decency

Please join me in this world of great possibility
