ARTIST'S STATEMENT

As I create an image, I celebrate and pay homage to my subject.

It is my way of saying "thank you" for the perfect, momentary gift.

Conveying my experience is extremely challenging. I strive to express

the essence of what I see, while simultaneously, the vision must be a flash

point for the metaphors, memories and emotions I carry within me.
