Artist statement
“Before we could talk, art was our first means of communication. Our creator gifted us the ability through our art to provide us with a visual record and understanding of ourselves and our history, something words and music could never do. To appreciate art, is to appreciate who we are, emotionally and spiritually. I believe I was given this gift in life to develop, nurture, and produce works of art that give true meaning to the words “fine art”. I seek to give to those who view my work more than just an understanding of my subject, but rather a feeling and closeness that reaches beyond the surface and touches that, which is inside us all.”
