Artists Statement

I express my passion for community, nature and philosophy through art. I practice realism and feel free to simultaneously abstract in a realistic plane. Nature and science continue to be the source of inspiration for much of my work. I am intrigued by Da Vinci and the Dutch Early Renaissance. Collaborating with others allows me to create more meaningful public Art.
