For me, who I am as an artist and who I will be, depends greatly on my ability to fight for limitless imagination and opening of my mind to all possibilities, all materials, and all avenues.

I have a deep longing as if something is missing inside, and I must find it through my art. The fear that I will not be whole or complete until I am able to make that spiritual connection and share my findings with the world is what drives me to continually seek enjoyment in my journey.  I'm compelled to press on knowing I have a purpose.

I don't seek to just make art.  I challenge myself to change my history and impact eternity. I aspire to create impressions so deep that the soul of the viewer can not deny it’s been touched.  I can’t help but feel that it’s what I was created for, that is my soul's purpose, to use my life to make living, breathing, life-changing art.

I am what I allow myself to be and I don’t want to be defined by one form of art or the other.  For me, that’s not living.  For me, that’s staging my life in compartments and is sure death for this artist.
