ABOUT MY PROCESS
My Work
My work is a reflection of my love and appreciation of places on the earth which, by simply being there, have made me feel better about myself and the world in general. Just as songwriters write songs which tell about feelings or tell stories about their lives, my artwork is a chronicle of all those aspects of my life which I deem worthy of holding on to.
