Artist Statement:
I have always believed any
obstacle can be overcome. My
art speaks of my eternal
optimism. The beauty of the
images I create are even more
vibrant due to the darker
backgrounds I employ. My
philosophy is that even in the
midst of darkness, beauty can
be found. Sometimes its more
apparent then others, but you
can find the light and the
beauty in the light if only
you look deeply enough for it.
I work exclusively with
colored pencils. Colored
pencils allow me to achieve
the paintery effect while also
providing the means to get the
realistic detail I require. My
art speaks of my strong need
to find my own light and
overcome the darkness life
often imposes on us. I have
found my source of
illumination through my art
and I am honored to shine a
little light on our world.
