~ Artist Statement ~
The goal is to be present in my art ~ to produce pieces that speak to my thoughts and sensibilities. I welcome a new kind of moment, a reflection, an idea, that I can take elsewhere. Advance it to where it needs to go then set it free.
There's a sense of uncertainty; Art that is caught somewhere between the ideal, the real, and the imaginary. It is important to believe in it and go on knowing that the process could end at any moment or linger forever unfinished.
