“It is through my art that I divulge the movement, depth, and tensions of the world.  I reveal the twists and turns of the human spirit.  It is about the things that we do. It's about the how to and why not.  It is about our daily aspirations, its inspirations and what we actually accept or reject.” I reveal the Integrity of the Human Spirit, the Sensitivities of Life, the Unity of Family, the Fidelity of Friends, and Pride in my Heritage.
