Artist Statement
I believe an artist must go through process to make an image. It is said the art of the Paleolithic era is cloaked in magical spirituality as opposed to the rational thought of later cultures. I believe that the process of one scratching out the perceived meaning of what is important in their life to be the purest form of human existence. Process becomes the soul of an image, and an intrinsic part of the outcome. It is the process of problem solving that motivates me.
