What is art, and what purpose as well as function does it serve for people?


For me. Art confirms the best aspects of humanity. Aspects such as: faith, love, beauty, and even suffering. Art is a spiritual awakening.

An encounter where we all depend on one another, where my paintings mirror all life’s purpose.


My life has not always been easy, and I have experiencend many of the hardships and challenges life can throw at you, all of which I try to mirror with art.
