As an artist in the highly visual culture of the Twenty-first Century, I recognize the unique effect art-making can have on the human experience. Through the process of making art we become in touch with what it truly means to be human. This very reason accounts for my continuous journey of personal self-expression through a variety of mediums. All of my learning occurs at a level where I am given the opportunity to connect my learning to my own personal interests and life experiences. I begin with fragments of ideas that develop into an exploration of problem solving and creative solutions.
