Artist Statement


“I am fascinated by the expressions of the human face, the language of the body, and the stories they tell. Each portrait I see as a story, and it is the beautiful mystery of the untold story each subject keeps hidden away that continually feeds my passion to create.

 

I believe art is meant to be beautiful, to illicit compassion or to lift the spirit. Our surroundings should be filled with such art, and in every endeavor we undertake we ought to do it as artfully and beautifully as possible, considering the generations to come."
