Art to me is a visual communication of the voice.  I believe that every person has an innate desire to be understood, and the artist is no exception.  We all are uniquely created which makes us different, yet alike in many ways.  For me what words cannot articulate, art becomes my translator.  In everything that I create, I want the viewer to not only appreciate the work, but perhaps leave with a renewed understanding of a message, thought or idea that they may not have otherwise experienced.
