COMMUNITY | IDENTITY | A

"I feel at the heart of my work is finding the beauty of being human and helping others do the same. It's the pursuit of truth through the unabashed examination of the human experience, and the act abstract expression, distilling that truth into a cross section of the spirit so potent it is failed by all other mediums. and in doing so other way helping others to do the same.and through this process enabling others the map of expressing their truth. Facilitating the communion of spirits.The truth that exists in my soul, and the truth that exists in yours, and the person next to you - the truths that constitute our collective identity as one race, united by our commonalities....., and that through our shared identity build communities of individuals"
