When an artist creates a work, I believe that it remains incomplete until a viewer sees the art and is moved by it. Only then does the made object become ‘Art’; meaningful and whole. We are simply makers in our studio, but constantly striving to be visionary and intuitive. As an artist, I have dedicated my work to being honest with myself and empathizing with others. My inspiration comes from my connection to the world, my relationships with others, and being true to myself. My work celebrates the generous and courageous human spirit and our desire to be understood. As an artist, the greatest reward is when my work transcends language and geography, connecting deeply with people all over the world.
