• Artist Statement

  It is said that the eye is the window to the soul; a shaft for the emotions, and a gallery of the mind, with wrath, sorrow, and merriment all on the spectacle. However, when such feelings are absent from their exhibition in the mind’s gallery; when the mind becomes devoid of emotion, it becomes a prison; depression and anxiety, the imprisoners; and you, shackled in the cell of your own body, the prisoner; you, the hostage.

• Creative Statement

  Exploring and expressing my creativity through the visual arts allows me to convey all aspects of myself in ways that would not otherwise be possible with plain words.
