As in primative cultures, where people made art to help them understand life, death and the events of their lives, my work has become increasingly narrative, telling stories using imagery, form, line and color. These personal stories are projected onto live models, with whom I work in a spirit of creative collaboration.

I believe the universe is a balance of opposites: to see light there must be darkness; destruction is necessary for creation. However, in these troubled times of global conflict, we are living in a world out of balance and the greater community needs artists as never before. The role of the artist and of art in our world is no longer mere entertainment or decoration, but an essential force for healing and change.
