Artist statement :  
 
In a chaotic time when the world is filled with anxiety, suffering, and violence, meaningful art and expressive intention can help relieve tension, provide an escape, communicate and connect, support and relate, breed open mindedness and tolerance, interpret solutions, provide hope and generate love. Through an artistic mindful vision we can evoke beauty to a world that desperately needs more light.
