Artist Statement:
Art is a way of looking at
life. I see art as science's
significant other: while
science is caught up in facts
and formulas, art is in tune
with feelings and abstract
ideas. Art reveals the side
of life that science cannot
reach. Therefore artists and
their art are just as
important as scientists and
their scientific theories.
I've considered myself an
artist from the very moment I
first drew George Washington's
smiley face, stick body, and
curly hair on the back cover
of my Mickey Mouse coloring
book. (I thought it was a
masterpiece, and coated it
with water several times,
hoping that would preserve
it.) Although I have had
doubts about my ability, I
have finally realized that I
interpret and internalize
every part of life
artistically. I think in
poetry, feel the pulse of
paint, sleep with a notebook
next to my head, and sketch
things I see (outside my
windshield or in my mind)
while driving. I know I have
things to say to the world,
and art (including painting,
drawing, photography, poetry,
etc.) is my way of conveying
the message best....
