<p>Artist Statement</p>
<p>As an awarded-winning artist, I am fundamentally interested in creating works that call for the participation of the audience to the same extent as my involvement in it. The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery of the story and I want to create basic human emotions. My works are in a variety of genres in Fine Art Painting, Graphic and Textile Design, and representing essential elements of global conservation. I enjoy expanding artistic practice through art education to underserved youth/adults, and emerging artists to empower those with confidence in using creativity in art as a language for a lifetime into a journey of self-exploration. Art is ever-changing and always seems to take on a life of its own, when it comes from emotions. We are always developing and becoming a better person. It is magical!</p>
