Artist's Statement

Sensations grab at our emotions, making them a useful tool in maximizing the artworks impact on the viewer. But there is a place in our overly emotional heart that yields to reason. From that place I have come to understand beauty to exist in every imaginable thing. As with the proverbial glass of water, whether it is half full or half empty is an individual choice or errant belief; no decision has any effect on the actual level of water in the glass. My purpose for creating a work of art is to celebrate beauty in those who see it and to persaude those who do not.
