ARTIST STATEMENT
I feel as if I am a explorer. With each piece I make I prepare for a journey,
I have a general idea where I want to go, but I never know where the path will lead me.
Each piece I work on I set out in the hopes of discovering something new and exciting.
As any explorer my journeys are filed with ups and downs, disappointments and breakthroughs,
however with each piece I am sure to gain knowledge and insight which is the excitement that
brings me to my studio every day.
