Artist Statement

He now believes that nature is a vessel for the divine with everything being illuminated by a sacred spark. He thinks about creating his paintings similar to the way a poet tells a story, creating a picture with words. He aspires to create visual poetry; focusing on the synergy of formal artistic elements combined with storytelling.
