ARTIST STATEMENT
I'm afraid to call myself an artist for many reasons. That said I think it's fair to say that I'm aesthetically inclined. Like most people many of my proudest creations lie lost somewhere between the timeless void of the dream and waking reality. Bridging these two realities; whether through art, music, film or the written word has always seemed like a worth-wile pursuit and in many cases a worthy challenge. Hopefully these expressions can inspire the same joy and passion, for the ineffable mysteries from which they were forged .
