Artists Statement
My work has been a slowly evolving, process. Over the past three years I have learned to just stop worrying about the meaning or intentions of the piece. But instead just relaxing and letting the images find meaning within Themselves, Thus allowing freedom of movements, plus images and music to work together in a loose collaboration, which creates a feeling in myself of spontaneity playfulness. These are my goals.
