Artists Statement:

Art touches our soul and can awaken us to truth and change our hearts. My art is a lifting up of experiences and beliefs that I feel have durable and shareable worth.  In my work I intend to tell a story, to inspire the viewer, and to make an impassioned profession of my faith. Through the mediums of painting, printmaking, and collage, I aim to create something in between mere symbol and ordinary reality, to depict transcendence from the natural to the supernatural and to reflect both levels of existence. I consider the act of art-making a spiritual experience and a form of worship and response to God.

I am inspired by post impressionist artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin.  Contemporary artists  such as Morris Graves and Rauschenberg
