Artistic Statement

Simply put, the things I create are the way that I communicate and reach out to people. I realized that fact far too late in life, however. Growing up, I always had doubts about whether I had anything of substance to add to a conversation. I was often afraid to start conversations with people, fearing they wouldn’t join in – or god forbid they did and I would quickly run out of things to talk about. This led me to be in my head a lot and, if I was noticed for anything in a social situation, it was for being quiet. But all that time in my own head wasn’t wasted.
