    My work is driven by the desire to explore and define my own existence and through it I seek dialogue with age old concerns of the human psyche... Can, and if so how, can a work of art be imbued with this psychological power- while singular and inert- can it take on this magical quality- if in the eye of the beholder, then how can the work draw the viewer into a psychological state that will allow for this magic, this connection to something deep inside of them- to mirror their own psyche, to suggest the weight of the human condition, and the eternity of nature.
