Artist Statement:
My art affects people
strongly. People I have never
met tell me things about what
happens: they cry, they start
painting again, they
reconsider choices in their
lives....
My art is dangerous,
seductive, intense, enigmatic.
My art reflects my passion of
striving for freedom in the
world.
My art goes beyond the
accepted idea of solid linear
reality.
