Artist's Statement
To formulate, invent a design that pleases, evokes, stimulates and/or intrigues the viewer is my intent. Art should be ever-evoloving. Every moment that we view new things, engage with people, we aquire new information. These encounters influence our thoughts and our hearts. It is what brings forth my creations. It is my aim to please the viewer and myself and to be alert to new techniques and ideas.
