ARTIST'S STATEMENT

"For me, art is more about looking than painting. I don’t just want to paint for painting's sake. I want art to help me recognize the glimpses of Heaven I see here on earth. To do art is to glorify a moment. It is to be grateful. It is to care enough to sit still with the tiniest glimpse of life. To stay with something and give it a voice to be heard is to love."
