I believe that the practice of art is a spiritual exercise that works best when one is able to approach a meditative state. I literally focus my awareness on a subject and allow the image to materialize. I don’t take photos; they’re given to me. I become an instrument through which awareness becomes manifest. Often art speaks for itself, and when it speaks truthfully, something resonates in both the creator and the viewer.

I realized at a young age that my talent laid in the arts. I was always fascinated with color and light. In recent years I have combined art making technologies. I have used both digital and traditional methods to create art. These techniques add layers to my work both figuratively and actually. I engage in the act of storytelling when I combine images digitally. Expanding the illustrative dialogue in the artwork, allows me to play with symbolism and metaphor. I now have a completely new visual vocabulary at my disposal.
