ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
"I enjoy the search for limits within each medium I choose to express my creativity or communicate the ideas of others through visual art forms. I hope to make a statement with my work that will strike a different chord in any observer as they interpret & digest my artistic statements. Choosing to remain style-less & unpredictable, I will hopefully continue to surprise those discovering and becoming familiar with my work, philosophy and inspiring nature. With this in mind, I can honestly look forward to a long and fulfilling lifetime as an active player in the development of our global language-- visual communication expression...."
