Artist Statement
I find inspiration for my works in my surroundings and my travels. I incorporate my interests and my emotions into my work while striving toward a sense of intensity in the spirit of each piece. Starting with a concept, focused energy shapes and develops each work to completion. To keep my work fresh, I enjoy creating art in many different forms and mediums.
