I imagine that my work is a window to my soul. Cliché perhaps, but this reflects how I feel when I create something that feels true. The only consistent theme in my work is an exploration of myself, the deepest parts of me. This, of course, is not an innovative approach; it is perhaps one of the most common reasons that one might create art. But my approach is in fact original because there is only one of me in the whole world; no one else could ever create what I create because no one can ever see the world as I see it or go through the process of making art in precisely the same way I do.

I think it is essential to work passionately. Maybe not just work passionately, but live passionately as well. In my artwork, I put my heart and soul into every idea, every project, because I feel like I am cheating myself if I settle for results that don’t sing to me. Through my art I feel emotions in their extreme states; love, lust, pain, misery. This, to me, is the only way to create art that truly comes from your soul.

One of the greatest joys and sources of inspiration in my life is my own evolution. The learning process is important; it allows us to not only grow internally, but to spur on external changes, technological advances, scientific discoveries, things that allow us, human beings, to continue to evolve ourselves and our society. Art springs from these changes. My point is simply this, life affects us, there is no avoiding that, but if we refuse to allow life to produce an effect in us, then we are stagnant, impotent, dead, and our art will reflect this.
