The dream of the artist lies in the ability to transcend the ordinary hence imbuing work with an appeal to mystery. My aim is to set forth a dialogue founded on a desire for renewed relationship between culture and the mystery of our human existence. In probing for the true nature of humanity, its problems and experiences, I seek to portray human miseries, joys, needs and strengths with a view towards greater understanding.

I continually seek to find ways to elevate consciousness beyond our current cultural fascination with degradation and annihilation. My commitment to a sense of personal responsibility and community informs all of my work.
