Artist Statement:
My works explore a multitude of expressions and ranges of human self-expression. Focusing on capturing the subtleties of emotions and experiences as expressed through the face and the body, my work becomes a reflection of each individual being and humans as a whole. The environment that I am, including all of the cultural and social aspects, are the influences and the subjects of my work.
