Artist Statement
My art is about the ways we connect. Every painting is an expression intended to convey a message or feeling. Whether it be through light and shadow, color, or the message in the work, the focus is human connection through expression. Artwork has the power to transcend. I believe it can be a tool for Good, and that’s my aim.
