Statement:

"Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty, that is all ye know on earth, and all
ye need to know".  "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats.

Art is the creative manifestation of Beauty and Truth. It is making the 
ordinary extraordinary, whether it be a sound, a sight, an experience or
a feeling. As an artist and educator I try to concern myself with these
things and make my art the vehicle through which these ideas are felt
and viewed.
