Artist Statement

A kaleidoscope - a tubular contraption containing mirrors and bits of colorful pieces that when shaken and disturbed, only persists to create a totally new and beautiful array of chromatic design for the world to behold. In many ways, I find myself on a kaleidoscopic journey through this life — a chaotically beautiful space where my love, light, and passion are ever changing and growing. My art reflects the kaleidoscope of my creative soul’s energy. My work serves as the visual representation of the calling within to connect to that which is deeper.
