I realize that I have a Dream. In the Dream, I visit many places, learn and deepen my understanding of the human condition and the state of the world, explore the power of art to aid, inform, inspire, question and heal.
I believe in creating art that energizes, moves, restores, reveals, soothes, and affects change.
In 2010 I hope to attend graduate school in London at the Royal College of Art. I am now traveling the final leg of my journey toward this destination. I continue to evolve as a human being and as an artist, and I look forward to the new painting that will manifest through my hands tomorrow.
