Artist Statement:
My love for nature, family and art are surpassed only by my love for
God who has taken me to where I am and to where I am heading. I am in
a constant state of gratefulness. My work and whole inspiration are
based on the energy creating and intertwining all beings and our
physical surroundings. All these things that we observe have been
revealed to us by Light which is astoundingly perfect and infinitely
beautiful. By committing time, which is the most precious of resources
to give or receive, to our subjects in study and interaction we can, as
artists, change our surroundings and world by demonstrating love and
appreciation. It is only through this interaction that we can discover
the inherent beauty that is so often overlooked and hopefully through
skill and understanding we are able to articulate the transient gift we
experience to the rest of the population.
