Artist Thoughts
"Ever since I was a small child I've searched for a greater meaning in everything that we see, feel, or experience. For me, painting and writing offer comfort in finding that meaning. I believe we connect to some greater story of us all, by sharing and retaining through arts and literature. For me it's important that art can handle all the feelings, even the most difficult ones. I believe that pictures and words can really change the world we live in, or offer comfort and connectivity, when we see our feelings expressed by others."
