I am a multidisciplinary artist and my work takes many forms. The nature of the subject or the emotional end result dictates the materials, techniques and themes I use. They vary from one piece to another. It all starts with a nagging inspiration.

For me making art is always about problem solving and testing the materials. I take a photo, an emotion, or idea and find the significance in it. I feel the only reason to alter an image or accept the challenge of creating art is to present something extra, evoke a feeling, make a statement, define a moment, and say what can not be said with words. I think art can be simple and fun. It doesn't always have to try and be smarter than the people who want to enjoy it.
