Artist Statement
Art for me is a necessity; it is a constant search for meaning and understanding in a world of chaos and cruelty. My work is a written and visual diary that depicts the reluctant struggle of my soul.
I work with a variety of mediums to convey a message of personal growth and survival. I rely heavily on the contrast of light and shadow to investigate the tension between an unyielding desire for survival and the desperate pull of destruction. Each piece is both a protest and surrender to destruction.
