Artist Statement:
The passion to express myself though the visual arts has always laid at the surface of my existence.
An existence that has reached an extraordinary level because I have been blessed with the ability to be used by the arts. I am guided by the spirits of my faith, my mother and my God
The arts provides me an amazing canvas where a life lived and a life imagined are allowed to coexist.
It is my prayer that those who view my art are blessed by my expressions of love, inheritance and faith.
