Artist

A man with a beard and mustache smiling.Artist Statement
My interests are in the human condition. My work is a symbolic representation of the world in which we act, interact and define ourselves. Emotional, intellectual and spiritual dialogues with life manifest themselves in many ways. I am interested in how different individuals, groups and cultures have taken the intangibles of their lives and translated them into tangible form.
