The Search
To me it's all one. I'm always making, always seeking the same spirit, the same spark. The moment things come together; the things that join us, hold us, lift us.
In all aspects of my work I want to make art that celebrates community and humanity, that speaks of beauty, hope, potential and truth in the face of global crisis.
