What is your Purpose?
My purpose is to create visually by “making marks” of any kind. This is an inner need of my heart and the soul with which I was born. This action of expression provides me a feeling of kinship and continuation in the circle of life with others. From our prehistoric ancestors who made their marks on rock walls, to present day artists working in various media, I continue and share.

What is your Reason for creating?
The reason is to create new visual spaces. To invent living forms in the shape of trees, water, animals, sun, sky and earth, and to see them come alive on my canvas or in 3D, expands the inner world of my heart, while outwardly communicating my love of the earth and of life. I hope that the new worlds of my creations will inspire others to feel and resonate with the beauty of our planet.
