ARTIST STATEMENT

We emerge from the most difficult of times in our lives. I am witnessing the pandemic, violence and the scathing influences of technology. And yet after everything, we see the golden nature of people. These are people who support humanity through the most difficult times imaginable. They are the first responders, the good samaritans, and the neighbor who brings food and water to those in need.
