Artist Statement:

I have always been drawn to creating in a tangible form what I can see in my ever muddled mind. I do this not to tell a story nor to understand or explain but simply because by not “doing” I am not “being”. Whether it is interpreting a clients or designers vision and manifesting it into reality or laying down brush strokes of melted wax, it is the process of creating something where nothing was, that is most enjoyable to me.
