I grew up ill-equipped to use my voice to express whatever was happening within and around me. I was often a silent bystander. Art became an outlet but on an unconscious level. I did not realize its hold on me until later in life when I came to realize that art fulfilled an intrinsic need. Creating art became a means of connecting me to my true self. Early on it was a private affair, one I did not want to share with anyone. Luckily my life experiences have helped me overcome my lack of confidence. I now have the courage to speak up, reveal my soul, share and connect my work with the universe.

The imagery in my work portrays a continuous dialogue with my psyche and the nuances of everyday experiences.
