ARTIST STATEMENT
Creating art is about me communicating to you…unexplained, suggestive stories. I could be begging a question, or offering a message. The meaning comes from you, the viewer.
This work is expression of unique sensibility; the gut instinct; my sanctuary and meditations on life.
Storytelling; Letting go of…expectations, control, perfection, preciousness, criticism…
