Artist Statement

To have a passion for Art, one must be an extraordinary person. Able to create things beyond your own imagination is truly a gift from God. To be view as a talented individual among peers, is far greater than anything I've ever dreamed. This is my life, the path I chose, and the future I look upon.

“I Am Art”

Artist Approach

Started from crayons moving to color pencils to charcoal to computers and now the camera, I continue to use the fundamental principles of art. Within my charcoal drawings, I focus on light, shadow, mood and texture to create a three dimensional perspective.
