About The Artist
Artist Statement
Perspective is very important. We are all part of something greater than ourselves. Every atom, the cells they make up, each hold their own mechanisms to form life. Every mind, with its own thoughts and actions, forms society, and every soul, with its own light, is like a cell forming the body of God. On a large and small scale, question yourself and your place in the universe. We are so large, holding a universe within ourselves, yet unfathomably small. Even still, the smallest of things can hold great importance and the power of joy.
