To live is to learn. The lessons we learn impact the way we interact with others, our environment, and even ourselves.  As I create, I stride to learn more about my abilities both as an artist and as a person. Whether that be through the works which I produce, the relationships in which I form, or through actual involvement in my current surroundings.

 

   Many of my artworks are what I would refer to as intuitive abstraction, created without conscious thought, but rather through the act of creation, the message of the work is eventually revealed. I obtain influence from past experiences and interactions, usually depicting geometric or organic forms, as I believe these elements have an unlimited variety of expression.

 

   Each work that I create, I categorize as a learning experience, producing a work of art which is formed around an appreciation for the process rather than the final product. I wish to communicate to my audience the power and journey one can embark upon when continuously seeking knowledge; In order to elevate both the mind and soul.
