"Art has always presented ideas that reflect the views of an artist.  These ideas are expressed in a unique form in which only Art can allow.  It is a universal language that is adaptable to many situations.

As an artist, it is my duty to give forth my own ideas in a fashion that will capture the attention and passion of others, and perhaps give them a glimpse into my concience and find somthing they might have overlooked.

As a person, I have formulated many ideas to preserve and better mankind by pointing out our strengths and weaknesses, and by testing ourselves to our absolute ability.

Art is an excellent medium to express the ideas and theories to the world in a passionate way that holds an underlying truth.  Through Art I expect to present my ideas and to influence others to feel likeminded without unnecessary criticism."
