Humans have been making art longer than they have been making money. The mysterious compulsion to CREATE transcends the context of modern, contemporary, and commercial institutions and academies. My interest lies in exploring art as a spiritual and inspirational nutrient for our lives- similar to sunshine, nature, dreaming, and loving. For me, Art is in this category of necessities to keep life full, and worth living. The role of the artist is to draw from, work with, and replenish the great source of the creative spirit. It is an honor for me to humbly fulfill this role.
