“my work is an expression of experience, a release of the deepest part of my soul, a place of solitude for myself. regularly created in time and space where something both real and surreal is required. grounded loosely in the clouds, my words offer a picture of my contemplations, my paintings and sculptures a definition of heart. art is hard and important, freedom without restraint, requires sleepless nights, many commas, and is the purest form of love. it is an unpleasant pleasure to contribute something to this existence, to share the most beautiful and ugly parts of myself, simply to create and recycle, and sometimes to be a human.”
