STATEMENT: So many of us see the world peripherally, focusing on the big picture and forgetting to appreciate the details. Art is for showing the world what they missed in the first look.
My strengths as an artist lie primarily in drawing, painting and photography and my thought process behind each work.
My hope is that my work will provoke you to think about the world we live in and show you something you might have missed initially.
