Artist Statement
I walked down the path I thought would help people, and the world of test tubes and bunsen burners extinguished the worlds I created. I closed my eyes and turned down the opposite path, I allowed my imagination to guide me, showing me that there isn’t simply on or the other. I set out to write the stories that aren’t always told, to create an escape from the mundane realities to create catharsis for those watching. I create art to find the fine line of light and dark as well as the comfort in all that lies between.
