> STATEMENT

Art is my method of escape, self-healing, and freedom. Each piece signifies an experience, emotion, desire, or inner struggle I face.  I now feel it is my calling to be able to share myself to the world.  I believe that all forms of art are derived from the strong desire to express inner struggles or emotions.  The challenges that I face give me a greater desire and motivation to succeed, and express myself through my art for others to see who I am.  When i got frustrated in life I turned to my art and built strength from it.  In life the only thing that stops you from achieving your dreams is fear of failure.  I live on never quitting and doing what is right even if it may be difficult.

My art is created digitally from art software that allows greater freedom for me to work.  My ideas come from a concept in my head and as I draw the image forms itself.  I treat each piece with the attention an detail it deserves.  Each piece is a part of me.  They blend elements of harmony, design, and elegance.  I take all objects or emotions and glorify them with color, depth, and composition and try to provide the best visual impact even when serious messages are portrayed.  Each piece is created with a twist of reality and layered with many levels that are hand drawn.  I tend to create large canvases because I love the visual impact because when i step or roll in a exhibit i want my eyes to melt in the work.

I have been creating art for most of my life and have been recognized internationally and been honored with many accomplishments.  I was published in Design Graphics Magazine with artists from the likes of Sony and Disney.  I was Green Bay's artstreet design winner and two time Neville Museum regional artist.  I am currently being commissioned for a public piece in downtown Green Bay and my art is on display at Wisconsin's only Aloft Hotel.  This fall my art will be exhibited at Wisconsin's Capital in Madison and I will keep adding to the list as time progresses.

I believe that searching deep within ourselves is the key to discovering who we really are and capturing our deepest desires.  I learn who I am more and more with each art piece I create. I invite you all to discover who I am and possibly, inspire you to do the same for yourself.
