Artist’s Statement

Works featured in Character & Characters are a new body of work from two ongoing studio series entitled HEARoes & Characters, I have decided to focus on persons with character and others that are just characters. We all have something to contribute to this thing called, “life”, specifically by helping others discover the truth about themselves. The truth is, that our greatest asset is our individuality!

I now understand the arts are an extension of my personal learning. I have extended my artistic interests to writing and public speaking. I needed a new direction and I decided to look to people that had inspired my personal growth and my existence.

Now, more than ever, we need to look to the arts to save the world, even if it happens one person at a time.

Life is still worth living when we fill our minds and our lives with things that are inspirational and motivational; things that help put us back together and become whole!
