Artist Statement 

I’ve found art to be a threshold, where kiss ever so timidly the brightest light cast by mankind and the elusive shadow
of godliness. I know the poet to be a bridge between the thinker and the mystic;
Art, the destructor
and the healer,
Art, the sustainer
and the priceless,
Art, the rebel
and the playful,
Art, the warrior,
and the prayerful,
Art, the twilight of mystery
art the guiding light in the mist,
Art, the longing
and the whisper answer from beyond.
