Artist Statement

As an artist, and as a human being, I 

endeavour to brighten the world with colour and light. Through my own expressive style and a variety of mediums, I strive to breathe new life and vision into the world we view everyday.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

and that has made all the difference."
