“I found it when I stopped looking" is my philosophy. Instead of ignoring my environment in search of something unattainable, I make art in response to my home and the people close to me. It interests me how an image’s meaning changes when associated with another image, a passage of writing or even a physical object. My goal as an artist is to balance soul and skill, to effectively communicate emotions worth disseminating.
“We generally describe our favorite things by virtue of what they are not.” – David Clark
