My life has been full of the most positive and edifying experiences. I've met a colorful cast of myriad characters from all walks of life, creating a vibrant tapestry of influences and skills that comprise the artist I am today. Life’s journey brought me here and I can only speak in the language that I know. The clean stroke of paint on a canvas, the feel of clay in my fingers, the smell of ozone when welding are part of a symphony to express what is seen and what can’t be expressed in words. My only goal is to honor these experiences, to acknowledge the truth, and to better understand.
