courage strength laughter random; conviction .The ability to find the might to obliterate the expectations of a new day that can be too informed by experience, to expect the unexpected. Much of my work has to do with being afraid of the dark. I do not live this life in fear. It is the unknown, wanting to understand so much more about the world around me, which can be filled in equal parts with humor and utter confusion. This world is so full of light, though with the light, there is shadow. The shadow is what concerns me. Shadow can knock the living daylights out of you. As an artist I have found that passion, conviction, and perseverance - thriving on the unexpected are the most important parts of my daily creative life. This is not always easy - damn hard actually. My favorite approach is the invitation of failure. This sets the cycle moving forward. To begin again, which is what I find brings such richness to a lifetime of examination and exploration - finding beauty in something that at first glance would appear to be insignificant or not noticed at all.
