Artist Statement:
On my journey as an artist I
have tried to reach the heart
of humanity and understand the
truth of creation. I have
labored to understand the
deepest sorrows and turmoil of
a world that at times seems to
lack sacredness or mercy; a
world that does not understand
its' own beauty and purpose.
But I have also witnessed the
unending nuances of love and
the ability of others to bring
their fellow people out of
very dark places; places of
such fear and misery that few
make it out alone. I hope to
one day create works of such
magnitude that they will bring
people to a place of pure
truth, where even the darkest
shadows of fear and confusion
cannot penetrate. There is so
much I would like to give to
the world as an artist and I
hope to one day to have that
chance....

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
Equestrian and Figurative works are where i find the most inspiration. I enjoy creating romantic or heroic legendary type pieces. Pieces that show great amounts of courage, sorrow, passion, sacrifice, or love or just the spirit of my subjects. romantic works that speak to the viewer about him or herself. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Throughout history all major achievements are forms of art. Cultures are created and changed through art. People live and die to create their art. Civilizations rise and fall leaving behind their legacy in art. Art is passion and anyone who has changed the world lived with passion and died trying to achieve their passion. Martin Luther King Lived his passion. Edgar Allen Poe, Pablo Picasso, Elvis Presley, Vincent Van Gogh, Abraham Lincoln, Raphael, Mahatma Gandhi, Winslow Homer, Jesus Ben Joseph, Michelangelo Buonarroti,and even William Shakespeare. Everything that is beautiful and sacred in human being is expressed through art. But moreover truth is expressed through art. The deepest truth of all, Humanity. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I grew up in a large family of artists. My first memory was working in my fathers studio at the age of two. I have spent my entire life working to achieve perfection in my own work as well as apprenticing on large monumental bronzes for communities and private collectors all across the country. I have always been creating, whether it's sculpture, painting, inventing, science, physics or just building things all to better understand how the universe works. Creation is what I live to do and it will probably be what I will die doing. Each piece is my best attempt at showing others the world I see. |
