Artist Statement:
”The artwork I produce serves as a bridge between my inner thoughts and the outside world, as I seek to gain a better understanding of myself and my relationship with God. It facilitates imperative inner dialogues that also enables me to define my relationship with the world and my place in it. Every stroke of the brush, and every line drawn, reflects my sincere quest for self-discovery and self-expression.”
